At around 2.15pm, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit reported that they had stopped two Ford Transits at their M1 check-site.

The pair of self-employed couriers were delivering for what officers said was a “well-known parcel company”, and both were found to uninsured.

The DRPU tweeted: “Your parcels will unfortunately be delayed. No doubt the courier company will be upset we've stopped them. Two words - due diligence.”
