Ludicrous loads - dangerous drivers carry insecure car, trees and pallets of pop
POLICE have accused dangerous drivers of putting lives at risk after trees, pallets of fizzy pop and even a car were found precariously balanced while being transported on the region's roads.
Northumbria Police condemned a number of drivers after they were pulled over on roads across the North-East during a two week campaign that concluded last week.
Officers had been running an operation alongside Highways England to target drivers who had not properly secured their cargo as they transported it through the Force area. This was following 968 incidents reported of debris on the road, from April 2020 to April 2021.
