Police target area’s illegal
drivers
UNINSURED and unlicensed drivers are the focus of a forcewide roads policing campaign being run by Humberside Police throughout February.
Officers will be carrying out targeted stop checks of vehicles to try and find out if the driver is licensed and insured.
Roads Policing Inspector Paul Sergeant said: “The aim of this campaign is to provide high visibility patrols in an attempt to remove illegal vehicles off the roads, thus making the roads in Humberside a safer place for people who live and travel here.”
And with an estimated six out of 10 crimes assisted by the use of a motor vehicle officers will be working to disrupt and detect criminal activity.
Insp Sergeant said: “During the campaign the police will also be detecting and dealing with untaxed vehicles, and drivers who do not have a current MOT for their vehicle. We shall also be collating intelligence with a view to targeting motorists who have been disqualified but who continue to drive illegally.”
To report drivers or riders who are using their vehicles illegally call Humberside Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 1111.
