A police spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, ‘I was only doing a quick drop-off’ isn’t a valid insurance policy.

“As a result, the vehicle was been seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

“If you’re using your vehicle for work, make sure your insurance covers it — otherwise, your next delivery could be to our impound yard.”
