Officers in Derbyshire were faced with ‘ridiculous behaviour’ from a driver who left his car on an A-road after it broke down.

On Thursday, March 10, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit reported that they were attending an incident on the A50 near Foston.

They found that a van had broken down in a live lane, and the driver had locked the vehicle and left it, without calling the police.

DRPU officers described this as “ridiculous behaviour”. The van was recovered and a notice of intended prosecution served.
