Police begin clampdown on uninsured drivers in North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire Police began a week-long blitz today on motorists driving without insurance.
Officers on patrol will use automatic number plate recognition and in-car technology to find offenders.
The activity is part of the national police campaign Op Drive Insured.
A North Yorkshire Police statement today said:
"In a three-hour window in the York area, our officers have already seized four vehicles and arrested one uninsured driver on suspicion of drug driving.
"At a time when austerity is high, vehicle insurance is not a cut back you can afford to make."
You can check if your vehicle is insured here.
