Concern for a child lead to a vehicle seizure in Whitby yesterday.
Whitby Police say that PC Snaith and SC Brown on patrol in Whitby yesterday, (Thursday 9th May 2024) stopped a silver BMW after sighting a child not being carried in the correct type of seat.
Enquiries were conducted which showed the driver to be disqualified. This also resulted in the vehicle being seized for not having a valid insurance policy.
PC Snaith of Whitby's Response Team said
"Any driver can be involved in a collision, and the safety of passengers, including children being carried in the car needs to be paramount.
Drivers need to understand the requirements of different child seats based on the age and build of the children being carried.
The focus is on safety and casualty reduction rather than prosecutions. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the driver wasn't meant to be on the road."
The driver was reported for driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
