National Highways has three unmarked HGV cabs which it loans out to police forces across the country as part of Operation Tramline.
The driver of a tow truck was pulled over and received a ban as officers found it had no brakes and an insecure load.
Officers also pulled over two drivers towing vehicles while in the third lane of the motorway, which is not permitted according to the Highway Code.
Drivers were also stopped for offences such as not wearing a seatbelt and using a mobile phone behind the wheel.
Sgt Matt Firth from the force's roads policing unit said: "We will continue to run these operations to detect and deter those who choose to drive in this manner, remembering that any of us or our loved ones could be impacted by such behaviours whilst using the county's roads."

More than 140 killed or injured in tailgating incidents each year
More than 140 people are killed or seriously injured in tailgating incidents in England each year, according to research. Tailgating is when a driver does not leave the proper space between themselves and the vehicle in front of them if it were to suddenly break. It is a factor in at least one in eight collisions on England's motorways and major A-roads, according to National Highways. The agency has launched a campaign aimed at tackling the dangerous behaviour. It highlighted that while 43% of drivers admit to tailgating, 60% say they are anxious when it is done to them. The discomfort and anxiety caused by tailgating were also reflected in other common, everyday scenarios - with more than half of respondents saying they felt uncomfortable with people walking behind them on the street or on public transport, or standing directly behind them in a lift. Sheena Hague, director of road safety at National Highways, said keeping a small distance could save lives. "Tailgating isn't just irritating; it's intimidating and dangerous," she said. "Most people wouldn't dream of standing right behind someone in a queue or walking on their heels down the street, yet this is exactly what we see on our roads." Read more from Sky News: National Highways says motorists should keep a two-second gap between their car and the vehicle in front of them on dry roads, and four seconds in wet weather. Drivers caught tailgating in England face a £100 fine and three penalty points. In the event of a serious collision, they face more serious punishments, such as a driving ban or imprisonment. Shaun Helmen, chief scientist at the Transport Research Laboratory, said rethinking tailgating as an invasion of personal space might help shift "deeply ingrained driving habits". "By tapping into the universal discomfort many of us feel around an invasion of our personal space, we're not just advising drivers what to do," he said. "We're giving them a relatable life experience to help understand the impact of their actions and encouraging a lasting shift towards more mindful and safer driving behaviours."
