• A traffic check last week on the Al in Cambridgeshire unveiled 78 offences including one of using a vehicle exceeding permitted lengths.

The offending over-length Dutch vehicle was directed to proceed immediately to the nearest port (Harwich).

A total of 114 vehicles were checked in the operation.

Eleven vehicles were given immediate GV9s during the operation, and a further 19 were given delayed GV9s. Five defect notices were served, while nine tachograph offences and two Operators' Licences offences were uncovered.

There were six offences concerning Vehicle Excise licences and a total of 27 offences involving CB radios.
