A DRIVER has had his van seized after police found his licence had expired.

Police seized the van on Saturday when they found the driver's licence had expired months ago.

A spokesman for Dorset Police No Excuse team said: "The driver explained they had applied for a new licence but they hadn't received it yet.

"However, they assumed it would be okay to drive without receiving it. Van seized."

Police seized a second vehicle after the driver was found to have been uninsured since May.
