2/2 We witnessed him narrowly avoid being hit by a 44 ton lorry as he reversed the wrong way along the #M25 / #A13 slip 😡 Driver was stopped and now faces #Disqualification and a hefty sentence. Ultimately, he could have paid with his life for the sake of a 15 minute detour

1/2 Last night we were deployed around @MPSHavering targeting cross border criminality. As traffic officers however, we remain dedicated to reducing road deaths through enforcement as this driver found out. #VisionZero

Currently on scene alongside @Ldn_Ambulance following a one vehicle collision on the #A12, Eastbound from the Eastway Tunnel in @MPSHackney. Lane one remains closed after slippery conditions resulted in this driver spinning out of control into the wall of the tunnel.

This vehicle triggered our vehicle cameras in @MPSNewham for no insurance. On stopping it, checks revealed that the policy had expired over a year ago and wasn't renewed when brought back onto the road. A costly reminder to always ensure suitable cover is in place! @askMID

This was the scene we were met with whilst on blue lights yesterday. This was caused by motorists unnecessarily queueing for petrol. There is no shortage - there will be if people continue though! Please use common sense and see past the sensationalist and inaccurate reporting...

This Rangey caught my eye whilst on the #A406 in @MPSRedbridge with several tell tale signs it's ID had been altered. After a roadside exam using skills from @TrainingMPS #TTW it was ID'd as stolen and had been sold to a 3rd party. Now recovered and investigation is ongoing.

Deployed to @MPSHavering yesterday after reports of speeding on Wingletye Lane. The 1st car came back at 45mph in the 30 limit. Driver didn't realise how fast he was travelling after coming off the #A127 - a reminder to be aware of your speed when leaving a major road. #Fatal4

Continuing our speed enforcement on the #A12 through @MPSWForest this morning. This driver thought 74mph in a 50 was acceptable - even on a defective tyre 😡 apparently acceptable as he was running late. Reported and facing disqualification #EastRPT #StandUpForSlowingDown #Fatal4

After trying to stop this vehicle in @MPSNewham yesterday, the driver decided to make off from us. After a short pursuit he then demonstrated running skills as poor as his driving... Found to be disqualified and arrested for various offences. #Charged and #Remanded to court.

Driving back to the garage following our earlier arrests and some very poor driving caught our eye in @MPSHackney. Undertaking at speed and tailgating a motorcycle is not acceptable - Reported for careless driving and now facing 3pts and fine #VisionZero
