A police crackdown targeting rogue drivers resulted in 104 drivers being stopped and one arrested.

Operation Tramline, which covered sections of the M40 and M25, ran from August 7 to August 11.

Offences included driving while using a mobile phone, not wearing a seat belt, careless driving, registration plate not fitted, excessive window tints and driving while not in proper control.

One car driver was also arrested on suspicion of driving while over the prescribed drug drive limit.

The road safety operation was run by Thames Valley Police’s Roads Policing Joint Operations Unit in partnership with National Highways.

Officers patrolled the road network in an unmarked HGV tractor unit.
