Good work by our Traffic Officers Steve and Nick. Earlier today they attended a incident on the M20 in Kent where a car had left the road. The driver managed to get out but his dog was trapped. They managed to rescue the driver's canine friend. Both driver and dog are doing fine.
After yesterday's escowpades on the M20, we thought we would share with you this herds morning cowmute as they moove from one side of the M25 to the udder.

@harrington1451
Hello Richard. Non-compliance of red X signals is something that we and
@SurreyRoadCops
(and other police forces across the country) take very seriously. The cameras are being calibrated to capture offenders and prosecute (it carries a fine £100 and 3 points).
If you plan of travelling in the bad weather. Please ensure you clear the snow from the top of your vehicle before travelling, this can become dislodged and obscure visibility. Please make sure you are fully prepared with food, water and warm clothes. Only travel if necessary.
Further pics from scene of flooding on
