A BMW has been seized after police spotted the driver drifting around a roundabout.

Officers from Dover were on patrol on the A256, near Sandwich, when the modified car was pulled over.

It was established that the driver had previously been issued with a warning under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, which warns motorists their vehicles can be seized if they persist in nuisance driving.

Due to the previous warning, the vehicle was seized by police and the driver was issued with a traffic offence report for careless driving.

Dover District Commander DCI Keith Taylor said: “Nuisance driving of this kind has an impact on other road users and residents and I am aware of concerns in the Sandwich area about the issue.

“I hope the seizure of this vehicle and the further proceedings the driver now faces sends out a message to others who might drive in this way: Your behaviour won't be tolerated and we will take action against you.”

The car's seizure took place in police’s ‘Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week’.

During this time activities are ongoing around the country to raise awareness of the issue and the responses open to authorities.

A police spokesman added: “Tackling anti-social behaviour is also an important part of Kent Police's safer summer initiative, which includes a focus on driving and riding vehicles in an anti-social way, drugs and street drinking.”
