FOUR vehicles stopped by police in the last week have been seized for a variety of insurance issues, including one from a driver who produced a fake certificate.

West Yorkshire Police's Steerside Enforcement Team - the force's dedicated initiative for tackling anti-social and dangerous driving - posted on its Facebook page over the last three days about several vehicles that were seized.

One was a white Seat in Bradford Road, Cottingley, Shipley.

"As a new driver (less than 2 years) they now face losing their licence."

The vehicle was seized and the driver reported. 

Police had a warning to issue in relation to one of the other vehicles.

Meanwhile, the team left a driver with "plenty of time to admire" a "cracking view" from Hebden Bridge Road, in Oxenhope after seizing a white Mercedes SL500 AMG.
