IT has been a busy day for the West Yorkshire Police Roads Policing Unit on the M62, with Team 3 attending incidents at Brighouse and Chain Bar.

One HGV driver did not help matters however, after TAKING A NAP on the hard shoulder.

A West Yorkshire Police Traffic Officer tweeted his fury over the incident, saying: "Imagine you need the emergency services on the #M62. Somethings gone wrong and you need help....

"We can't get to you as this driver closed his curtains and had nap on the hard shoulder!"

One commenter said: "Can't believe someone would do that! Not only is it incredibly ignorant but also dangerous! What if someone swerved into him whilst he was sleeping?"

Another added: "Time to retake his driving test, I'm quite literally gobsmacked at the stupidity."
