A man was told to walk home after his car was seized by police.

Police officers in Purbeck posted a message warning drivers about what can happen if they don’t insure their cars.

A picture was included in the message showing a car with a ‘seized by police’ sticker in its rear windshield.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said: “Can’t be bothered to get a full licence or insure your car? Then you run the risk of having your car seized by police and having to walk home. Not to mention the financial costs to you for recovery and storage and also a potential court appearance. This gentleman was unfortunate enough to get stopped and is now walking home.”
