Whilst we appreciate the bike is pretty nice itโs not worth taking your attention off the road to check out the stickers with a big stare.
This driver was sadly arrested for drug driving after a failure on the roadside test Once stopped.

#RPU stopped the Astra on the M4 after it flagged up in the car for no tax, knowing one thing often leads to others, today confirmed this with the driver now coming with us for drug driving.
