AN uninsured, speeding driver abandoned their vehicle after being spotted by police in the Bradford district.

Officers said they saw the vehicle "driving at speed" along Lee Lane in Bingley.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: "It was located a short time later nearby - with no driver.

"The vehicle was seized for no insurance."

Speeding is the most common road traffic offence in the UK. 

The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine and three penalty points added to your licence.

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

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