The elevated position of the HGV allows officers a better view of drivers who are committing driving offences, which we know are often the cause of collisions and injuries. Forty-nine per cent of drivers were given fixed penalty notices for not wearing seatbelts and twelve per cent were fined for using their mobile phones while driving. A further eleven per cent were fined for driving with insecure loads and eight per cent of HGV drivers were fined for exceeding their permitted hours.
Inspector Marc Gee, Roads Policing, Lincolnshire Police said: “This is a really useful tactic to identify those drivers who put other road users at risk. While some drivers may change their driving behaviour when they see a police car, any risky driving standards are there to be seen from the vantage point of an unmarked HGV tractor unit.
