LORRIES are banned from overtaking on two stretches of the A14 during a year-long trial which started this week.

The 6am-8pm ban will affect lorries of 7.5 tonnes and over on a two-mile section of the eastbound A14 between M1 J19 at Catthorpe and A14 J1 at Cold Ashby and a one-and-a-half mile stretch westbound between J2 Kelmarsh and J1.
