Police have pulled over a lorry driver with more than a dozen plush toys blocking his view of the road.

Kent Police's roads unit tweeted the haul, which included cuddly toys of Superman and Batman, as well as Homer and Bart Simpson toys and a minion.

Shared via @kentpoliceroads, Disney characters Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse were put between two Turkish flags and below two novelty dice.
