A BMW driver had his car seized for travelling without insurance or tax, despite being sent reminder letters.

Officers from the Dorset Police No Excuse team stopped the car and found the driver already had 14 points.

A spokesperson said: “Had a busy admin day following an eventful 13 hour shift yesterday.

“We still have managed to get out though.

“The driver of this BMW was stopped. Their expired licence had 14 points on it. The car was not insured, nor was it taxed. This is despite the registered keeper being sent a letter some weeks previously advising them they had no insurance.

“The car was seized. The driver was reported to court, and further reported to the DVLA.”
