Successful movement of an abnormal load today, transporting a large steel frame from Westbury to Eastleigh for a construction project. Thank you to everyone who experienced delays for your patience and cooperation. #WiltsRPU

@Peepers_110170 oooohhhh yes , in consultation with British Transport Police numerous appropriate rail offences identified and arrested for. Still a long way to go with enquiries before we can ask a court, but leave it with us.

@WiltsSpecOps Hope those charges included trespassing on the rail network & also endangering public safety & the rail network! Ask the courts to make then reimburse the costs of having the vehicle removed from the railway line!

@WiltsSpecOps Yes it’s not octopussy, when James Bonds wheel rims exactly fit the track gauge when the tyres are stung

Driver (in front of the police car) forgot you still need tax and insurance, both expired (Jul 25 & Nov 25). We know it’s not cheap, but fines and points will cost even more. Stay legal on the road. orlo.uk/xEsSl #WiltsRPU

#WiltsRPU Incoming Hot Fuzz references two swans saved the M4, one was sat watching from the sidelines. Sorry for the inconvenience as the traffic was brought to a halt it was for the "greater good!"😉 . Thankyou to the motorists for your patience whilst we took them to safety.

Spotted this van on the M4, didn't look in the best condition. Glad we stopped it, found to have a major fuel leak and 2 insecure batteries under the bonnet, risk of fire if involved in an RTC etc. Prohibited and recovered by agent for repairs #WiltsRPU.

#WiltsRPU stopped this vehicle on the M4 heading into Wiltshire — packed with far more than the recommended “5 a day”! 🍏🚗 Driver hit with £900 in fines plus an £80 recovery fee.

Monitoring the 'No Left Turn' at the end of Market Street onto Castle Street, Trowbridge. Last year, the sign was temporarily covered, but now fully reinstated. Despite this, many drivers are still ignoring it. Please follow the signage. It keeps traffic flowing safely.

Stopped this vehicle on the A419 and the list of offences was long! Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, no insurance, no rear-view mirror, no markers, no Movement Order, excess length…and to top it off, no tachograph! #WiltsRPU

Driver stopped for using their mobile phone. Not quite a ‘99’, but it does get you 6 points and a £200 fine. Awkward cone-versation…that’s the best we could whip up today. Please don’t use your phone while driving. It’s never worth the risk. #WiltsRPU
