A WHITE van driver sorting his finances out on the phone while behind the wheel had his vehicle seized.

Officers from the Dorset Police No Excuse team stopped the van on the A338 Spur Road on Saturday.

The driver said he was trying to sort out his tax bill with HMRC.

Police discovered he had no insurance or UK driving licence so the van was seized and the diver reported to court.

A second white van was stopped in Poole on the same day and seized because it had not been taxed since October last year.
