Football might be coming home! But how are you getting home? Yesterday saw the start of the World Cup and our drink and drug driving campaign to support it. We'll be running proactive operations around the games and the morning after to keep our roads safe.

On Saturday we supported the Motor Insurers’ Bureau with a nation day of action against illegal e-scooters and e-bikes. Our operation resulted in the seizure of 44 vehicles used without insurance. Every one of you contributes money in your premiums to cover uninsured vehicles.

Although many of these look like legal EAPC’s, many are overpowered, don’t cut off at 15.5MPH or have a throttle. This makes them motor vehicles requiring insurance.

This vehicle was stopped for a documents check. Turns out the driver had no licence and no insurance. Wasn't the first time they had been caught either! #Seized #Summons #Seeyouincourt

Another drink driver, another lucky escape with minor injuries. Driver was removed from the vehicle and provided a positive sample of breath at the roadside, over 3 times the legal limit. #THINK #Nonefortheroad
