Police seized a Derbyshire driver’s car after he failed to listen to officers who warned him against using the vehicle.

On Thursday, August 18, the Shirebrook Safer Neighbourhood Team stopped a Volkswagen Golf in the town, as its driver was uninsured.

An SNT spokesperson revealed, however, that the driver had already been told by officers not to get behind the wheel – but had ignored their warnings.

They said: “What makes matters worse is the driver was seen beforehand and advised not to drive the vehicle but decided to drive it anyway.”
