A CAR was seized for having no MOT or road tax and illegal tyre treads in Purbeck on Wednesday.
Officers from the Dorset Police No Excuse team stopped the car for having no brake lights, and then found the tyres had very little tread.
A spokesperson for the No Excuse team said: “A white Ford was stopped for having no brake lights. Turns out it had little tread on their tyres too, but that may have been picked up if they'd bothered to have it MOT'd when they were supposed to five months ago.
“Also turned out they hadn't paid their road tax since January 2020 either. Car seized for no tax and being in a dangerous condition. Driver reported.”
Officers also seized a blue Ford after discovering the driver was disqualified. He was on his way to collect his children from school.
