Driver's 'first day at new job' sees him stopped by police for transporting insecure items and dangerous breakaway cable on M1 in Derbyshire

Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit stopped the vehicle just about to join the M1 motorway in Derbyshire.

The vehicle was reported by officers for transporting a load with no securing straps at all, a breakaway cable not connected, and insecure items.

When he was stopped, the driver tried to justify himself by telling the officers that it was his first day at a new job.
