"Enquiries established that the driver did not have any insurance to drive the vehicle.
"The vehicle was seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver was given a TOR (Traffic Offence Report)."
Under UK traffic law a motorist found to be driving without insurance can face a fine and six points on their driving licence.
If there are matters which aggravate the case, such as sustained uninsured use of a vehicle, they may be banned from the roads.
