They can also seize a vehicle if they think it’s being driven by someone who does not have a proper licence or insurance, if it's dangerously, illegally or obstructively parked and if it's broken-down or abandoned. Here are the vehicles removed from the road in and around Lancashire in September. These images are from the 'LancsRoadPolice' Twitter feed.

Spotted by #HO50 in Coppull. Stop checked due to no docs. Two occupants swap seats. Not the best plan when neither held a licence and both over legal limit for alcohol. In car video footage confirmed seat swapsies. Driver already disqualified until 2023. Vehicle seized

When you are disqualified from driving try not to draw attention to yourself by poor lane discipline. Then if you give your mates details, make sure they have a licence that is not revoked
