Rogue parkers at school under police microscope
Police in Northamptonshire are to crack down on the number of drivers flouting parking laws in the region, according to a local news source.
The Northants Evening Telegraph commented that zebra crossing on Henshaw Road in Wellingborough are not being kept clear, resulting in officers issuing tickets to those causing the obstructions.
As a result, it may be that the owners of the offending vehicles pick up motoring convictions, which could in turn have an effect on their bike insurance policies.
This is because cover companies often refuse to give cheap deals to those who have a poor record on the road.
