    It's usually the local council that deal with weight restrictions on roads although whether they have the resources to do so is another matter. They can issue fines, they don't need to stop the vehicle just have evidence such as a photograph of the vehicle etc. I'd contact Hertfordshire County Council and ask

    As posted already, the police deal with the criminal offence committed by the driver, and DVSA and the Traffoc Commisioners with the Operator's Licence implications.
    Some councils have powers to issue penalty charge notices for 'decriminalised' matters, but AFAIK none can issue fines for criminal offences.
