The driver was reported and a PG9 was issued. A Roadworthiness prohibition (PG9) is given for mechanical problems or for the condition of a vehicle's bodywork and equipment. This means the vehicle can no longer be driven.
In order for the vehicle to be allowed back on the road, the driver will need to follow the guidance of the officer who issued the PG9 form, and also follow the notes on the back of the prohibition notice.
