Six drivers have their cars seized
A POLICE crackdown on insurance and licence offenders in the Highlands and Islands, netted 15 drivers, six of whom had their vehicles seized.
The three-day campaign, co-ordinated by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland, ended last Friday.
Chief Superintendent Stevie Mackay from Northern Constabulary, the ACPOS lead for coordinating activity to deny criminals the use of Scotland's roads said: "We are committed to ensuring that Scotland’s roads are as safe as possible and in just 3 days we have caught over 200 offenders driving without a suitable licence or insurance.”
He added: “People who knowingly drive without a driving licence or insurance are a hazard on our roads. These offenders risk the lives of other road users and cost law abiding motorists higher insurance premiums every year. We will continue to patrol Scotland’s roads day and night targeting those who put other road users at risk."
