While some unusual passengers caught our attention, it was the insurance checks that really mattered! 👀

While some unusual passengers caught our attention, it was the insurance checks that really mattered! 👀

Officers from the Special Constabulary, assisted by our Neighbourhood Policing Team, stopped a vehicle in Bury during proactive patrols.

Checks revealed the vehicle was being driven without valid insurance. The driver was issued with a Traffic Offence Report and the vehicle was seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

Driving without insurance puts other road users at risk and can result in penalty points, fines and your vehicle being seized.

Before setting off, make sure your insurance is valid, up to date, and that you're covered to drive the vehicle you're using.

We'll continue carrying out proactive patrols and vehicle checks across Bury to help keep our roads safe for everyone.
