The driver 'surprisingly' was not under the influence of drink or drugs

An uninsured driver discovered heading the wrong way up the A30 has been reported by police.

Officers made the discovery on the main road near Okehampton earlier today.

Police said the driver was 'surprisingly' not under the influence of drink or drugs.

They had their van - a white Vauxhall - confiscated and they were reported for a number of offences.

"Vehicle driving wrong way on A30 towards Okehampton," tweeted the Devon and Cornwall Police and Dorset Police's Roads Policing Teams' account.

"Found it reversing up a slip road near Launceston. Driver wasn’t impaired surprisingly but wasn’t insured.

"Reported for a few matters and one van off the road."

Devon and Cornwall Police have been contacted for further information.

"Police made a search of the A30 near Launceston this morning after being informed that a vehicle was seen driving up the road towards Okehampton on the wrong side of the carriageway," said a police spokesperson.

"A man and vehicle were located."

If it had been insured, it would have been fine.
