Eckington- Vehicle seized under Section 165A

On 10/09/2025 PC Wheelwright and PCSO Rawson were out on patrol in the Eckington and Killamarsh Area when they spotted a vehicle parked on Setcup Lane with no valid insurance.

The registered Keeper was located and clearly advised not to drive the vehicle until valid insurance was in place.

However, later that same day, while continuing patrols, officers spotted the same vehicle attempting to enter Ash Crescent, Eckington. The vehicle was stopped by PC Wheelwright.

🔷Despite the earlier warning, the driver chose to ignore the advice and drive the uninsured vehicle.

As a result:

➡️The vehicle was seized under section 165A of the Road Traffic Act 1988

➡️The driver will be reported for summons to court

🔊This is a reminder. No insurance=no excuse. We will continue to take action to keep our roads safe and ensure the law is followed.
