Following enquiries it was established the driver had run out of driving time and decided to take their 45 minute break on the slip road. 

A spokesman for Bury St Edmunds police said: "Not only is this illegal, but very dangerous. 

"HGV drivers should plan their breaks and stop in a safe place such as a layby or a lorry park, not in a live carriageway."

The driver was issued with a traffic offence report.
