Reading the Tweet It is probably the case that there is more than a year between the two section 59 warnings so no power to confiscate,however a power came from the section 60 offence Oh dear what a pity
Perhaps the Twitter report was inaccurate?
Section 60 is stop & search but what reasonfor that would apply to this case and does it give a right to seize a vehicle per se?
As the driver had no insurance seizure was inevitable unless the driver could conjure up some cover on the spot.
More than one act has a Section 60, the Stop and Search is the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act. The Road Traffic Act Section 60 does give a power to seize a vehicle
You are right no insurance does mean a vehicle can be seized, but in the article it says it wasn’t taxed, not that it wasn’t insured
You're right about the tax.
From the Twitter feed.............. RP33 - A1(M) South Mimms. Vehicle was already subject to 2 x S.59 warnings, but the driver decided to drive in an anti-social manner en route to a car meet. Seized under S.60 and it's also untaxed as its too expensive... driver walking home in tears

No tax varies from car to car mine is only £20
Car tax rates changed for new registrations in 2017.
Top rate VED for this car in first year is £2235 then for cars selling for more than £40000 it's £490 pa for next 5 years. Those figures may be slightly out it's a complicated calculation.
I can certainly understand that. The ones that annoy me are those that declare a couple of hundred partners that you have to cancel individually rather than being able to reject all in one button tap.

Grab a chair, kick off your shoes, chill and chat.
