National commercial vehicle intensification period – Humberside Police

Working in partnership with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency, and Safer Roads Humber, Humberside Police officers have been busy engaging with commercial vehicles to ensure goods are loaded securely and the vehicles and drivers are safe to be on the roads.

PC Susan Scott from their Roads Policing Unit leading the operation, she said: “We are proud to participated in the Regional Commercial Vehicle intensification period, which will see us conduct stop checks across our force area to identify commercial vehicles not being used in the correct manner.

“Commercial vehicles carry a significant risk when not used in the way they were designed. Insecure loads, dangerous goods and those used to commit criminal activity are at an increased risk and sadly we have seen the devastating effects these actions can have.

“We are committed to keeping the roads in our region as safe as possible and intensification periods like this are vital to make sure that vehicles are roadworthy and are being driven safely, which helps us to keep our highways safe for all that use them”.
