The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the UK body responsible for road standards and enforcement, posted an image of the van and its load on Twitter. The agency explains that the vehicle was checked on Wednesday near the Blackwall Tunnel in London. It noted that the driver had stocked up on toilet paper and household paper, which it described as "extreme".
The driver was lightened
The total weight of the unthinkable stock is not given. However, the DVSA points out that the vehicle's authorised loading weight was exceeded by "more than a tonne"... And the agency ironically concludes that the driver has been given a £300 (360 francs) reduction, which is the amount of the fine imposed.
