Police and DVSA staff conduct successful operation in Midlothian

Police Scotland officers have conducted a joint operation with Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency staff in Midlothian. 

During the initiative officers detected several offences and prohibitions. 

Prohibitions are issued if there is a fault with someone’s driving or their vehicle. 

Fourteen immediate prohibitions were detected which means the individual was not allowed to drive the vehicle until the problems identified had been fixed. 

Seven delayed prohibitions were also identified. A delayed prohibition means you have up to 10 days to fix an issue. It will then need to be reinspected and the prohibition removed before it can be driven again 

In addition seven advisory prohibitions were detected. 

Two people were reported to court for the condition of the vehicle.
