ANOTHER uninsured car has been taken off the streets in the Bradford district.

Police in Shipley said they stopped the vehicle in question today.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "Checks conducted showed the driver did not hold a valid policy of insurance.

"The car was seized and the driver has been reported for the offence.

"A file will be prepared for court."

It is illegal to drive a vehicle on a road or in a public place without at least third-party insurance.

The police can check on the spot if your vehicle is insured using the Motor Insurance Database. 

If it isn't, they can seize it immediately - even if you then arrange insurance at the roadside.

Punishments for driving without insurance can include a substantial fine, points on your licence and even a disqualification from driving.
