麻豆约拍

Kent Police is getting tougher on foreign lorry drivers who drive dangerously or have unsafe vehicles. The number of on-the-spot fines topped 1,800 last year, that is up from over 1,500 the year before.

In 2009 the force became the first to fine drivers for offences including exceeding their legal driving hours or driving defective lorries. But road safety campaigners want even tougher measures to make foreign lorries safer.

Plans to charge pubs, clubs and bars more for late-night licences to help pay for the policing and clear-up have been criticised by Kent publicans.

It is one proposal being outlined as part of a consultation to tackle problems caused by late-night drinking, and comes on the day doctors are warning that failure to reform alcohol laws could lead to 210,000 preventable deaths in England and Wales in the next 20 years.

A retired police officer from Kent, who led the hunt for Lord Lucan in the 1980s, has told the 麻豆约拍 there is evidence that the wanted peer did escape abroad.

The aristocrat disappeared after being suspected of murdering the family nanny at their home in central London in 1974.
