If you are driving an HGV and you decide to try to force the vehicle in front to exceed the speed limit in the roadworks j9-8 M20, by driving too close and flashing your lights, probably best to make sure it isn't an unmarked traffic car first! #RST #Fatal5 #dontfollowtooclose AE

Sooooo. You and two others decide to meet up with your mates to take some pic of your car. 1) Not essential 2) you need a driving licence 3) you need insurance. Luckily we can store the cars and get you picked up. You definitely should have #StayHomeSaveLives SL

A car transporter stopped and driver arrested for drink and drug driving on the M25 and another HGV driver arrested at the Dartford River crossing having failed a road side drug swipe. Just think what damage these vehicles could cause in a crash. #fatal4 GS

Meet PD Reggie. Reggie is 3 1/2 years old. He weighs 42kg. He’s enormous and he likes his handier and chasing baddies. He is new to our handler and team and hopefully you’ll see lots more of him !! #policedog #lovesachase SL

Our new arrival. Now I’ve got your attention remember #StayAtHomeSaveLives . It’s going to be a fabulous weekend and the temptation to go out will be high. We’ve all done so well in Kent with huge reductions in travel. Let’s keep it up. We are all in this together. SL

And we’re off....driving a foreign registered vehicle in the UK whilst you work or reside here means no road tax being paid. New powers now allow police to seize untaxed vehicles. This vehicle has been seized for that very reason #TaxYourVehicle DS

A stark reminder as to why we advise you get out of ANY broken down vehicle on the motorway and seek shelter behind the crash barriers. These lads did, which is why they’re not seriously injured from this crash on the #M20 this morning. #TakeRefuge BB

#M2 Driving at over 100mph for several miles with your 3 very small children in the car is very irresponsible. This driver is now facing a possible driving ban for is actions. Rk

Frosty morning. Do. Sit in your car and heat it up. Don’t leave it running as you sit inside. Do get to keep your car. Don’t get to watch it drive off in the hands of a naughty robber. #arvsthinktheyaresofunny #weknowwhodidthis #ivegotlongerhair SL
