There is heavy traffic in north Watford this morning, after a lorry stopped on the roundabout at the top of town.
Hertfordshire police were called to the junction of Rickmansworth Road and Beechen Grove at 9.20am, where a lorry was parked.
The driver revealed his "tachograph" device, which logs the number of hours driven, had run out due to heavy traffic.
The number of hours a lorry driver can spend behind the wheel is strictly governed by the EU.
The blockage is expected to be cleared by 9.40am.

Hope the police gave him a ticket - for crimes against common sense!
I do think lorry drivers should have a limit when it comes to driving hours - but some jobs-worths really do take to 'P'
