Car Transporter Busted on A1 Near Grantham for Dodgy Business Haul
Driver Claims Personal Use but Police Smell a Rat
The Roads Policing Unit pulled over a car transporter on the A1 near Grantham after suspecting the driver was running an unlicensed commercial operation. The driver insisted both vehicles on board were for personal use.
But officers weren’t convinced. A quick dig into online company reviews revealed the transporter was clearly being used for business – directly contradicting the driver’s story.
Fined and Frozen: Penalties Hit Hard
The driver was slapped with a fixed penalty notice for breaking the rules. To stop any cheeky further trips, the transporter was immobilised for 11 hours.
Authority Cracks Down on Illegal Transport
A Roads Policing Unit spokesperson warned: “We take commercial transport regulations seriously. Businesses operating without the correct licences and insurance place themselves and other road users at risk. We will continue to take action where necessary.”
This stop is part of a wider crackdown on unsafe and illegal transport along major UK roads.
Motorists Beware
If you’re using vehicles for business, make sure all your licences and insurance are in order. Otherwise, you could face fines and immobilisation, just like this driver.
