An HGV driver was prohibited from continuing his journey after being caught on the motorway with a severely smashed windscreen.
Road Policing Unit (RPU) officers spotted the dangerous vehicle and stopped it before it could pose a greater risk to road users. Shockingly, the driver reportedly expected to be allowed to continue, unload, and then return across the Channel for repairs.
An RPU spokesperson said:
A damaged windscreen compromises both the driver’s visibility and the safety of everyone on the road. This HGV will remain off the network until properly repaired.
