A MOTORIST faces a court appearance for driving while disqualified. 

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team stopped a Volkswagen car while they were out patrolling in the Bradford East area this morning. 

A spokesperson from the team said: "Enquiries revealed the driver to be disqualified.

"The vehicle was seized and the driver was reported to court."

Driving while disqualified is a serious offence, and it is illegal to drive a vehicle on a road or in a public place without at least third-party insurance.

Operation Steerside was formed in 2016 - two months after the Telegraph & Argus launched its Stop the Danger Drivers campaign.

A dedicated team was set up three years later specifically to tackle crimes on our roads.
