Northamptonshire Police DAF CF 450 (RJ70 JOA)

            2021 DAF CF 450 10.8

Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. However, the local constabulary usually attempt to make up for it.

For a few years Northamptonshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) had a brilliant display of vehicles on show for the spectators. 

Sadly, this year's offering was much smaller than usual but there were still some nice things on show.

Amongst a number of vehicles parked up alongside the old start/finish straight was DAF CF 450 that was on loan to Northamptonshire Police at the time of the event.

The truck is owned by National Highways and is loaned out to different police forces and can be seen patrolling the UK's motorway network. 

Blue light-equipped, it is predominantly used to ensure that truck drivers are wearing seat belts and not using a mobile phone at the wheel etc, the high driving position allowing officers to peer into the cab of a passing HGV.

Safe to say, it won the prize for largest exhibit on show!
