11 March 2008
Two of the 115 vehicles that passed through this quiet road were impounded after it was discovered that their drivers did not have the correct driving documentation. A further ten drivers were issued with defect notices.
Between 2.30pm and 4.15pm on Friday 7 March 2008 officers from Driver and Vehicle Standards, (DVS), in close co-operation with the Honorary Police of St Ouen, conducted a road check on Route Des Laveurs.
A private car was impounded as the windscreen insurance disc was invalid and the driver could not provide evidence of satisfactory insurance cover.
A further ten drivers were issued with defect notices requiring them to present their vehicles at DVS with defects rectified. Defects included damaged bodywork, tyres, lighting and oil leaks.
A driver had to leave his company vehicle after it was discovered that his driving licence was invalid. A second driver has to inform his parish authority of a change in his driving licence details. These discrepancies were highlighted by the new facility of cross checking driversā€™ licence and vehicle keeper details on site which is proving to be very productive.
