Hundreds of faulty vehicles stopped around Island

Tue, 22 Dec 2015

Nearly 200 faulty vehicles have been stopped by police on the Island's roads this month.

It's all part of the Roads Policing Unit's winter safety campaign.

102 vehicles were pulled over at The Grandstand, Braddan Bridge and Ramsey Hairpin - all had issues which needed rectifying.

In addition officers carried out checks across the Island on Friday where they located another 71 which had faults.

Police say it shows people aren't checking their vehicles properly prior to making a journey saying it is of "upmost importance" that they do so.
