Police impound speeders' carsSpeeding drivers now risk having their cars impounded.
Police forces around the country are turning to a little-known law that
allows them to seize vehicles being driven anti-socially
causing alarm, distress or harassment. That includes excessive speeding
and racing. Owners are charged £105 to get their vehicle back. If
they dont pay, it can be crushed after 21 days. As well as a release fee owners will have to pay storage costs of £12 a day. They may also be charged with speeding and driving without due care and attention. Lincolnshire police said the move would send a message to other motorists. Other police forces are expected to follow suit. Under section 59, drivers are warned for a first offence, but if the car is caught again within a year, regardless of who is at the wheel, it can be seized. Devon and Cornwall, Wiltshire and Derbyshire constabularies have used the powers to confiscate vehicles and warn drivers, though the precise nature of the offences is not known. Police in Caerphilly have impounded three vehicles and issued 71 warning notices since last summer to stop boy racers. More coverage on speeding and safety The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents welcomed the moves: For some of these people their car is their prized possession, and taking it away may be the only deterrent that works.
