“S59 notices are powerful as, if breached, they could lead to the vehicle being seized by police.”
Two motorists have now been handed fixed penalty notices by an officer from Nottinghamshire Police’s Hucknall beat team and an Ashfield Council community protection officer, after two vehicles were seen breaching the PSPO by officers on patrol.
The spokesman said: “Patrols are continuing to ensure other road users are kept safe.”
