A driver had their car seized after being caught on the road with no insurance.

The driver was detected by officers from South Norfolk Police as they carried out mobile patrols early last Thursday morning in Scole.

PCs Wall and Styles had been checking passing cars for any driving offences when they came across the uninsured vehicle. 

The car was seized and the driver was issued with a traffic offence report.

Earlier in the year, data revealed that 1,304 vehicles had been seized by Norfolk Constabulary throughout 2023 as the force cracked down on uninsured drivers. 

Officers can use automatic number plate recognition cameras to locate vehicles that do not have insurance and then seize them if the driver is unable to provide any proof of a policy.

Driving without insurance can also result in a penalty of £300, six points on your licence and a vehicle release fee. 

If a motorist does not fulfil all of the requirements in releasing their car, it may be crushed.

If the case goes to court, offenders face the prospect of an unlimited fine and being disqualified from driving.
