An officer from the Beds, Cambs and Herts Roads Policing Unit wrote on Twitter: “The ‘professional’ HGV driver was very sorry but he ‘needed the toilet, a number two’. Err that’s okay then. Reported.”
Drivers caught speeding in excess of 100mph face disqualification from the road rather than penalty points but the decision is at the discretion of the court.
