A vehicle was stopped by police for failing to have insurance.

The car was stopped on Oxford Road in Kidlington by Thames Valley Police officers.

Work by the officers revealed that the driver's policy lapsed in December of last year, meaning they have been driving without insurance for three months.

It is illegal to drive a vehicle on a road or in a public place without at least 3rd party insurance.

If you are caught, police could give you a fixed penalty of £300 and six penalty points and police also have the power to seize and, in some cases, destroy the vehicle in question.
