There have been a range of driving offences for officers to contend with, from uninsured drivers and illegal off-roaders to children riding motorcycles.
These are eight of the incidents tackled by Derbyshire Police over the last seven days as they work to keep our roads safe.
1. Drugged-up driver
The rider of this moped was stopped at the weekend by officers in Langley Mill, due to concerns over the standard of driving. Further roadside checks led to one adult male being arrested for providing a positive roadside drug sample. The male was reported for traffic offences and released under investigation.

The DRPU reported today that children had been seen engaging in “dangerous behaviour” by riding this motorcycle in Chaddesden. The bike was found, having been abandoned, and officers said it was “destined for the scrap yard”. Photo: DRPU
