"Document checks revealed driver wasn't insured either. Vehicle seized. Driver reported."

Nor is this the only illegal motorist the team has dealt with recently as the unit reported yesterday that they had stopped a driver with no insurance.

They said: "Road safety isn’t optional! These laws are in place to protect everyone using our roads."
