We stopped this Vehicle M6 south this morning using pre-emptive tactics. 3 occupants have been arrested for possession of a weapons, large amount of drugs & items used to steal. Driver also under influence of Cannabis, no DL, no Insurance. #seized #OpLightning #Team4RCT

@CIroadcrime @StaffsRCT @StaffsPolice @HighwaysWMIDS Having listened to the views of drivers nationally, this is a major concern/frustration of theirs.. So… Let’s do something about it then … 🚔💥 This activity will continue across @StaffsPolice @StaffsRCT @StaffsRoadHarm. The message is simple.. “Keep Left ⬅️ unless overtaking”

The team @StaffsRCT have been working hard across the road network @StaffsPolice with the support of @HighwaysWMIDS to tackle lane hogging & various other offences. It’s not only frustrating but potentially dangerous & illegal! Engagement, education & enforcement where needed.

@StaffsRCT @PoliceStafford The team deliver day, night and everything in between 👏🏻👊 Some good advice to those who travel through @StaffsPolice … Drive legally otherwise, we have plenty of appointments to see you soon 😑 To those law abiding drivers, we thank you 👍👏🏻👏🏻

We continue our campaign against drivers who chose to ignore UK driving laws by driving with #noinsurance and #nolicence. This driver had a UK provisional but chose to drive unsupervised on the M6 Northbound @PoliceStafford. It's now being #seized. #OpLightning #Team4RCT

Stopped in #featherstone @PoliceStafford in order to check documents. Driver held a provisional licence however his "supervisor" had only held a licence for 4 days themselves❗️ Vehicle #seized @DriveInsured #OpLightning #Team4RCT

Sighted on the M54 driving erratically & at speed. Stopped in #Coven @SouthStaffsLPT and driver issued with a Section 59 (ASB driving). It got worse for them as they had borrowed the car from a friend without relevant insurance. #seized @DriveInsured #OpLightning #Team4RCT
