•A Christmas drink drive campaign saw officers completing proactive patrols and delivering drink and drug driving awareness literature to rural public houses.
•Officers in Brackley continue to actively enforce insurance requirements related to delivery drivers.
•A number of licensing issues related to taxi drivers operating without their plates being displayed have been identified, and these have been reported back to the relevant licensing authority to enforce.
•Officers completed a multi-agency enforcement day on the A5 near Towcester. Results included three tyre related offences, one offence of no tachograph fitted, three overweight vehicles, 11 vehicles with insecure loads, one vehicle with no insurance, 15 incidents, where words of advice were given, including insurance admin issues, defective lights, and vehicle modifications.
