Despite producing a screenshot of an insurance policy, the driver was less than convincing when questions were raised about it's legitimacy. Vehicle seized and driver reported for driving without insurance. Further enquiries are ongoing #OpSteerside pic.twitter.com/JtswjDAomP
Elsewhere in the same part of Bradford, a car was seized for being driven without insurance.
Steerside officers pulled over a silver Citroën on Otley Road.
The driver produced a screenshot of an insurance policy but was "less than convincing when questions were raised about its legitimacy".
