A car, being driven by a driver on the way to their driving test, has been seized in Melksham.
Wilts Specialist Ops took to X to share the news on Wednesday, September 4.
They posted: "This vehicle has been seized by RPU in Melksham this morning. The driver was on route to their driving test but without any insurance or displaying L plates. Driver and supervisor reported to court. Vehicle seized."
One person commented: "Let me guess: it's your fault they missed their test?"
Another asked: "Did s/he pass?"
Drivers of seized cars must pay the storage fees and have 15 days from the date of receiving the seizure notice to reclaim the vehicle.
