00:25 our motorway network even greater. It's targeting organised crime gang activities all the way

00:30 through to those dangerous drivers that put other people at risk. We've got all the different

00:35 agencies with us today, we've got our fantastic roads policing teams with us, we've also got

00:39 the Immigration Service, we've got Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, we've got the Environment

00:43 Agency, we've got local councils, we've got driving standards, all of these people are

00:48 here to make sure that whether it be everything from dodgy brakes, old tyres through to overloaded
