What a plank: Police shame Bedford driver for transporting this load

Oh dear, oh dear – this Volvo driver certainly wasn’t thinking when they took to the streets of Bedford.

Needless to say, officers from Beds, Cambs & Herts Road Policing Unit stopped them, reported them and organised other means of transport.

In a post on social media, police said: “This is by no means an acceptable way of transporting a load. There is a likely chance of injury being caused to persons walking near the vehicle and/or the occupants.”

Though the response was from the public was far less forgiving.

One person tweeted: “What a plank.”

While another commented: “I thought this was quite good as it stops cyclists driving up your backside in built up areas.”

“As thick as 2 long planks?” Quipped a third.
