Visitors to Norfolk from Somerset were stopped by police after overloading their bike rack, prompting a reminder to transport cycles safely as more people head out on rides this summer.
The Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team (NSRAPT) stopped a car, which was carrying four bikes on a rack, on Sunday on the A47 near Trowse.
The team issued a reminder to motorists to think about how they load their car after as more people head out for “staycations”.

The NSRAPT team said: “Now that ‘Staycations’ are possible, more and more people taking advantage, but please think about how you load your car, what other drivers can see of your lights/number plate and what you can see out of your mirrors.”
