    Just when you think you have seen it all! This vehicle was being driven exactly as you see it in the picture with the driver hanging out of the window Ace Ventura style. We didn't think we needed to say it, but that is simply not acceptable and the driver has been reported.

    The rider of this Sur Ron electric motorcycle thought he could ride dangerously through the city, pulling wheelies and riding on the pavement. He was introduced into the front of one of our new Volvos and arrested. He was already disqualified and wanted by Police in Scotland.

    The driver of this vehicle was reported for driving without reasonable consideration after choosing to remain in lane 2, hogging the lane, with nothing around it despite being encouraged to join lane 1 #MRPU #SYN1

    Driver stopped on St Helens Linkway whilst using a mobile phone and failing to wear a seatbelt. Driver provided a very unusual reply. #reported #Fatal4

    Not only was this nice Range Rover Sport parked within the confines of a crossing it was also obstructing the pavement. We waited to speak to the driver however they didn't return so the vehicle was seized. #youcantparktheremate #seized #syn4

    Would anyone be interested in some tweets about the role of a Roads Policing Motorcyclist / our Motorcycle Team?

    The rider of this bike was stopped due to no lights. Then provided false details and tried to run away but was detained. Bike found to be of excess power and therefore classed as ‘motor vehicle’ - rider reported for licence and insurance offences and bike seized #MRPU #SYN1

    The driver of this Kia Sportage was hogging the middle lane on the M62 between 55-60mph causing others to navigate around. They failed to move over to lane 1 when encouraged by the officer so they were reported instead for driving without reasonable consideration #MRPU #SYN1

    The driver of this Type R wanted to show our motorway patrols how loud his aftermarket exhaust was by revving his engine at them on the M6 whilst they were with a motorist. We caught up with him and showed our appreciation by issuing a TOR for causing excessive noise #mrpu

    Can you believe it! We have just been in the yard and caught @MerPolDogs Police Dog Mo, doing exactly the same thing as he gets the cars ready for patrol. No extra treats tonight and an educational talking to from his handler!
