Driver Foiled After Police Seize Van for No Insurance
Think Again Before Hitting Isle of Wight Roads
A driver hoping to slip under the radar on the Isle of Wight got a shocking surprise when police seized his vehicle for having no insurance. He took the Red Funnel ferry to East Cowes, thinking he’d made a clean getaway – but it wasn’t so simple.
Van Snatched Before Boarding Ferry
The Volkswagen Transporter was stopped and seized by police before it even boarded the ferry. Officers caught the motorist red-handed driving without insurance.
Police Issue Stark Warning
“I cannot stress enough the importance of having a roadworthy/road legal vehicle when using the roads,” said the officer involved in the seizure.
The message is clear: don’t risk it. Ensure your vehicle is insured and roadworthy before you travel around the Isle of Wight or anywhere else.
