Dangerous load in Staffordshire

Staffs Police Road Policing Unit said: "No one wants a lump of concrete through their windscreen!!

"Pure lazyness of this driver who felt it was to much effort to sheet the load. We obviously made him do it (took 2 minutes) and gave him a ticket for his troubles. These cause serious accidents!"
