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 June. These images are from the 'LancsRoadPolice' Twitter feed.

This VW drew the attention of MN18 by driving at 85mph in heavy rain & hogging the middle lane of an empty M6 near Charnock Richard. Maybe if they had passed a driving test they would have known this wasn't allowed. No insurance either. Car seized meaning a long wet walk to Wales

The owner of this moped decided to come out for a ride around Fulwood. He forgot that as a provisional rider he is not allowed pillion passengers and forgot helmets for himself and his 2 friends. Moped seized and court date booked.

This taxi was stopped in Burnley having been followed doing 92mph on the M65 in the rain. Disgracefully he had two fares in the back and to make things worse he already has 10 points for speeding offences! Lesson clearly not learned so reported for summons

The driver of this Clio in Barrowford tried to evade me this morning. When stopped the reason for why became clear. He is a non-licence holder with 14 points! Back to court he goes for yet another no insurance and no licence offence. Vehicle seized
