On Saturday, July 31, officers from Derbyshire Police’s roads policing unit stopped a moped rider at Doe Lea.

He had travelled to buy a new moped, but forgotten to bring a helmet with him – with the DRPU tweeting that, instead of buying one locally, he had ‘decided to risk it’.

Officers caught him just as he was about to drive onto the M1 – and discovered he also had no insurance or licence.

The rider’s moped was subsequently seized.
