A FATHER saw his son's car seized after he claimed to not know if it was taxed or insured.
The blue Toyota was stopped by West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside team on Toller Lane in the west of Bradford.
The father used the vehicle assuming it had been taxed and insured - but did not check.
It turns out it was neither.
The driver was reported for both offences.
