That was response from several social media users this week, after Lancashire Police’s road team revealed they had caught a Land Rover masquerading as a Toyota Aygo and the driver had no insurance.
And it wasn’t the only blatant road crime this week – in Preston, an off duty police officer saw a Honda driver smoking cannabis – and he carried on when uniformed officers pulled him over.
Several other drivers have failed roadside drug tests and have been arrested – though in one case, it was a passenger who was found with drugs. The driver of that car was also issued with a Traffic Offence Report (TOR) after the tints on his front windows only let through 28 and 29 per cent light when the legal limit is 70 per cent.
