A CAR stopped in Freshwater was found to have no insurance this afternoon (Sunday), with the unaccompanied driver only holding a provisional license.

Isle of Wight Police seized the Jaguar S-Type, which in addition to not being insured didn't have L plates.

A Tweet from Isle of Wight Police said: "Vehicle Seizure (in) Freshwater — driver didn't have insurance and only held a provisional license. No 'L' plates and was not being supervised."

The car was collected by Stag Lane Motors and the driver will appear in court in due course.

Generally having no insurance carries a six point penalty and a large fine.

If you think you know someone who may be driving without documents please call 101 and report it.
