Police officers stopped a car along a stretch of the M1 over the weekend after noticing it had no rear bumper. The vehicle, a silver Lexus, was travelling on the motorway near Tibshelf when the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit stopped it.
The unit posted about the incident at around 10pm on Sunday (February 12), confirming there was no rear bumper or back box on the car's exhaust. Pictures show the car after having been pulled over and stopped, with its rear bumper completely off.

The roads policing unit regularly shares news about the driving offences dealt with by its team. Other incidents over the weekend included a vehicle which had not been insured since August because the owner "forgot to do it."
Another included a vehicle which had not been insured since December. It is illegal to drive without both a rear bumper and a defective exhaust.
