Dangerous vehicle off the road after driving without waste licence
Officers had seized the van after undertaking speed checks on Aldwarke Lane, Dalton, yesterday morning when they found it did not have a waste carrier’s licence.
A VAN has been taken off the road after police found the vehicle had been involved a number of offences.
Registration for a waste carrier licence costs £154 according to the government’s website but registration is usually free if you only transport waste you produce yourself.
Police also said the vehicle’s tyres were found to be bald — a serious offence when the tread is below the legal limit — and they were “happy this dangerous vehicle is now off the road”.
