Van full of Quality Street tins stopped on M6 as it was overweight

A van full of Quality Street tins was stopped on the M6 as it was overweight.

Police in Cheshire served up sweet justice to the driver, by issuing a traffic offence report.

In a tweet put up by Cheshire HGV Cops on Friday, officers said: "Van carrying chocolate stopped on the M6 Sandbach.

"Driver thought that the 3,500kg van was the amount of load it could carry.

"41% overweight. Prohibited/TOR issued".

It led to a stream of comical replies from social media users which might make you Snicker.

One joker replied: "If he wants any help lightening the load I’m available."

While another wrote: "That's a Quality Tweet."

"Bet he melted when explained the wrongs of his ways", said another.

And one added: "He should've hired a Double Decker."
