SIR – Reading the T&A (May 16), I noted that a quad bike had been seized by the police in Pudsey because the vehicle was not insured and the driver had no licence.

Why is it that cars are not seized in the same situation, but only receive in many cases a very small fine?

The drivers are then free to carry on flouting the law, ensuring law-abiding drivers get a huge increase in their car insurance.
