Police seized two vehicles as they launched a special operation across Gedling borough to catch uninsured drivers.
The illegal vehicles were removed from the borough’s roads overnight following continued pro-active patrols across the area by members of the Special Constabulary.
Both vehicles were stopped by officers and following checks on the Police National Computer, seized for not having the appropriate level of insurance for their journeys.
A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police said: “It’s an offence to drive a motor vehicle on a public road without adequate cover.
“It’s important to remember that there are different categories of insurances, permitting different level of usage, and as the driver of the vehicle, it is your responsibility to check that your sufficiently insured prior to making any journey.
“Failure to ensure that you are adequately insured, could render you liable to prosecution. Your vehicle can also be seized at the roadside if officers reasonably suspect your vehicle to be uninsured.
“Those found to not have insurance at the point of being stopped by the police face six penalty points and a fine of up to £5,000.
They added: “If you find yourself conducting business trips for whatever reason, we would always advise you to check with your insurance company prior to commencing the journey.”
