A DRIVER has had their grey Audi seized by police due to the car not being insured.

The car was seized by officers in the Gillingham area in north Dorset.

A spokesman from Dorset Police said: "Another uninsured vehicle seized in north Dorset, by Gillingham Neighbourhood Team."

According to www.gov.co.uk police could give drivers a fixed penalty of £300 and six penalty points if caught driving a vehicle without insurance.
