THE driver of a Rolls-Royce Ghost has been "dealt with accordingly" after they were stopped by police in the Bradford district.

Officers from West Yorkshire's Steerside Enforcement Team said they stopped the vehicle on Otley Road, Shipley, as no insurance was showing.

It later transpired that the vehicle was insured - but a spokesperson from the team said: "The heavily tinted front windows and registration plate failed inspection and so the driver was dealt with accordingly."

Operation Steerside was formed in 2016 - two months after the Telegraph & Argus launched its 'Stop the Danger Drivers' campaign.

A dedicated team was set up three years later specifically to tackle crimes on our roads.

People can email bd.steerside@westyorkshire.pnn.police.uk to report information to the team.

Some drivers will respectfully stop and – quite rightly – beckon anyone on foot to cross unmolested. Other motorists angrily hit the horn if any pesky pedestrian dares get in their way.
