Middle lane driver reported for traffic offence

On Saturday 19 January 2019, one of our Roads Policing Officers was patrolling the M62 near Howden. During this journey, the officer followed a vehicle which remained in the middle lane of the motorway for over 4 miles despite the lack of traffic and lack of any requirement to overtake other vehicles.

The vehicle was subsequently stopped and dealt with for careless driving. The driver will now have to pay a fine, attend a driver retraining course or attend court.

RULE 264 - THE HIGHWAY CODE
"You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past. Slow-moving or speed-restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking. You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by the police, traffic officers in uniform or by signs."

More advice can be found in the Highway Code which is available for free online here --> www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/motorways-253-to-273

The next Police Surgery dates for PCSO Palmer will be on the Mobile Library in Gilberdyke memorial car park on Wednesday 16th January 2019 11:00 - 12:00 and Wednesday 13th February 2019 13:30 - 14:30.

Driver arrested on suspicion of Drink Driving on Cliffe Road, Market Weighton


At approximately 13:24 on Monday 7 January 2019 there was a two vehicle road traffic collision on Cliffe Road towards Market Weighton involving black Mercedes A200 and a silver Mazda 6. During the collision, the Mazda left the road, rolled into a ditch and landed on it's roof. Both driver's were treated by Ambulance Staff for their injuries and the Mazda driver was taken to Hospital. Following their initial treatment, both driver's were breathalysed and the Mazda driver was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drink driving. Due to his injuries, the Mazda driver had to be taken to Hospital but Roads Policing Officers escorted him there in order to conduct any further evidential whilst the male was in Hospital.

There is no excuse for drink driving, it is one of five major factors that cause the majority of injuries and deaths on UK roads known as the ‘fatal five':
1. Inappropriate or excessive speed
2. Not wearing a seat belt
3. Driver distractions including using mobile devices such as phones, 'sat navs' and tablets
4. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
5. Careless and inconsiderate driving

98% of collisions are caused by human error, with only 2% caused by unavoidable issues, such as mechanical failure. Roads Policing Patrols focus much of their efforts on preventing and detecting these offences to prevent injuries and fatalities on our roads.

Female Driver arrested and Charged for Drink Driving


On Thursday 3rd January 2019, officers stopped a green Vauxhall Corsa after information received from members of the public suggested that the driver of the vehicle was under the influence of alcohol. The driver of the vehicle was breathalysed using a roadside breath test machine and found to be over the legal limit. As a result, the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst being over the prescribed limit and taken to police custody in Hull for further evidential tests to be carried out.

Whilst in police custody, the driver was found to have 110 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - over three times the legal limit of 35 micrograms / 100 millilitres. The female driver was subsequently charged with the offence of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed limit. It’s impossible to say exactly what a court may impose in each particular case – prison (up to 14 years), an unlimited fine and disqualification for at least two years are all possible depending on the offence. In this case it is likely that the driver will be disqualified from driving.
