Police in the Lake District seized an untaxed, uninsured vehicle after a £50 unpaid fuel report. Cumbria Police’s South Lakes neighbourhood team located the car on Glebe Road in Windermere on Saturday, November 14, after reports it had been involved in non-payment of £50 worth of petrol from a nearby station. The driver was given a traffic offence report with six penalty points and a £300 fine. Officers said recovery costs will also have to be paid to release the vehicle from the garage. South Lakes Police added that, even with rising fuel prices, it may amount to the highest price for fuel on the market. The matter is currently at the enforcement stage, with the seizure carried out and the driver issued penalties, while the vehicle remains held pending release.
