Police seized 41 vehicles during a two-day traffic operation earlier this week.
Officers were out in force with partner agencies as part of Operation Unity, which targeted a range of offences on the roads.
Check sites were set up in Gorton, Eastlands, Bolton and Manchester and during the course of the two days 575 vehicles were stopped.
Twelve vehicles were seized for being used illegally in the UK, 24 vehicles were seized for no insurance, two were seized for being driven without a licence and three were seized by the DVLA.
Police also issued 100 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists, including 43 to drivers using a mobile phone and 16 for seatbelt offences.
The Drive & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued 55 prohibitions to commercial drivers for vehicle defects.
One vehicle was dealt with for red diesel, six taxi drivers were suspended and a 50-year old man was arrested on suspicion of two robberies in Tameside and remains in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Garry Lyle from GMP’s Traffic Enforcement Unit said: “Partners and officers came together over the last two days to target offenders and send a stark reminder out to motorists that we will not let them compromise the safety of others on our roads.
“The Traffic Enforcement Unit deals with offences such as these on a daily basis but not to the same extent. We’re really grateful to our partners for assisting us throughout the operation and look forward to doing more of the same in the very near future.”

Unity covers a wide range of loosely connected ideas in science, differently analyzed by different interpreters. Generally, they are expressions, or echoes, of the idea that science can succeed in providing one consistent, integrated, simple, and comprehensive description of the world.

Following DOT Public Space Unit’s improvements to create a pedestrian-only zone at the intersection of Jerome Avenue and East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx, DOT Art partnered with the Jerome Gunhill Business Improvement District to present an asphalt mural in the pedestrianized space by Bronx-native Britny Lizet. Titled, “Unity,” the variety of colors in the design intended to stimulate the mind and bring people together. As part of the DOT Public Space Unit’s Street Seats initiative, the space was filled with tables and chairs allowing the mural to become a platform for the community to gather.

Following the end of a 30 year of Civil War between separatist rebels and the government of a majority Sinhalese country, there have been several initiatives established to unite the people of the north and south of Sri Lanka.
One such initiative is an annual cricket match between two of the older schools in the country, both which have numerous similarities in their history. These schools are Ananda College of Colombo, and Jaffna Hindu College. Ananda College is one of the more prestigious schools in world cricket, having produced numerous international players and several national captains. Jaffna Hindu College is getting its feet back on the ground following the end of the war.
The inaugural match was held in Colombo and was won by Ananda College. This year the match was played in the sweltering heat of Jaffna, and was convincingly won by the home team which was a cause for much celebration.
During the post-match presentation I was lucky to notice in the background, behind all the pomp and tradition, two players from worlds apart engaging each other in a light hearted conversation with some laughs.
This is precisely the aim of this cricket match. It goes far beyond cricket itself and is aimed at bringing people together who could be seen as being wildly different despite cohabitating a small island and sharing a single nationality.
Unity.

The external cladding of the Unity building is arranged in a "dazzle" camouflage pattern based on that applied to ships on the Mersey during the war.
The top of the Unity building features a distinctive box structure containing two penthouses. I don't see how this is as a natural development of the architecture below but it gives the building a strong visual identity on the skyline.

In 2009, the Rhondda Cynon Taff local authority, in conjunction with the Arts Council of Wales, erected a new piece of public sculpture just outside Pontypridd. Christened Unity, the sculpture stands on land beside the Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, and is intended to bring new visitors into one of South Wales' most exploited and neglected former mining towns. The sculpture represents three aspects of Pontypridd's heritage: the town's famous bridge, the mines that populated the town in the 1800's and 1900's, and the way that the British fleet relied on both coal and locally-manufactured chains.
Unity or Lunacy? You decide.
The sculpture is largely invisible to anyone travelling up the major road from Cardiff until you've passed the turn-off for Pontypridd, which limits its ability to draw passing tourists into the town. In common with both RCT and Cardiff's local authority, there's no memory of the Glamorganshire Canal incorporated into the sculpture - without the canal, the Chainworks would never have come to Pontypridd in 1816. And there's no incorporation either of the Taff Vale Railway, still in operation today and visible from the site of the sculpture.
Time will tell whether this piece of public sculpture will be an asset or a communist-red (as opposed to white) elephant for the town, but it seems unlikely to become as iconic a piece as the Angel Of The North.

Pontypridd's Unity sculpture looking resplendent following a recent repaint.
The sculpture was designed by Andy Hazell and installed in 2009. It represents three iconic parts of Pontypridd's history. First, the depiction of the old bridge, engineered in 1756 by William Edwards. Second, the railway - once Pontypridd had one of the longest railway platforms in the country and was one of the busiest as coal ("black gold") was transported down to the sea from the many collieries to the north of Pontypridd. Third, the bow of the ship represents both the coal that fuelled the naval fleet and the Brown Lenox chainworks which stood nearby, and supplied chains to Isambard Kingdom Brunel and others.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple, located on Lake Street in Oak Park, was built between 1905 and 1908. It is considered to be one of Wright's most "important" designs, and is currently home to Oak Park's Unitarian Universalist Congregation. Unity Temple was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1971.
The Unity building is capped by a very distinctive box shaped form containing two penthouses. It is not clear how this was conceived as a development of the architecture below but it certainly gives the building a unique identity on Liverpool's skyline.
