There have been a range of driving offences for officers to contend with, from illegal off-roaders and uninsured drivers to crashes involving sleeping motorists.
These are some of the incidents tackled by Derbyshire’s Road Policing Unit and local teams over the last seven days, as they work to keep our roads safe.
