TOO many snacks led to a van driver being stopped by police in North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Police are carrying out spot checks as part of Commercial Vehicle Week.
Officers pulled over the driver of a white Mercedes van yesterday (July 21) at Scotch Corner.
Traffic Constable David Minto was on the scene.
He said: "I pulled the vehicle into DVSA Enforcement at Scotch Corner yesterday.
"It was 5.14% overweight.
"After some ‘snacks’ were jettisoned, the prohibition was lifted and the driver allowed to continue his journey.
"The driver has been reported."
