Driver caught without licence or insurance for third time in six months

Published on

A motorist already known to police was stopped for the third time in six months while driving without a valid licence or insurance.

On October 27, Thames Valley Police halted the vehicle and took it into custody after establishing that the required documents were absent.

The case will return to court, resulting in another scheduled appearance for the driver.

Police have repeated their warning that motorists must hold both a valid driving licence and appropriate insurance before taking to the road.

Thames Valley Police said repeated offences could lead to the seizure of a vehicle and the driver being brought before the courts.

The force maintained that its message on road users remained straightforward: driving without the necessary licence or insurance can result in another stop, another seizure and further legal proceedings.

A separate incident took place later on October 27 in the Lidl’s car park in Wantage.

A driver’s vehicle was seized after police found that the insurance cover had expired more than a month earlier.
