Uncollected cars which have been seized are sent to the crusher
|
Police in Fife have seized more than 500 vehicles which were being driven illegally over the past six months.
Road safety teams launched a crackdown on illegal cars in last August. Drivers caught without tax or insurance have since had their vehicles removed.
A charge of £105 is made for the cars to be returned and those not collected have been sent to be crushed.
Fixed penalty tickets are also issued and can come with a £200 fine and six penalty points on a driving licence.
Head of Roads Policing, Chief Insp Alex Duncan said: "Although this is positive pro-active work on our part, it is more importantly a sad reflection that people out there are continuing to take risks and are driving without a valid certificate of motor insurance or licence.
