Do you know an illegal driver?
Are you aware of anybody who is driving illegally? If so North
Wales Police would like to hear from you.
North Wales Police are continuing with their Illegal Driver
Campaign – an initiative aimed at targeting those who drive whilst
disqualified, drive with no insurance or drive with no valid
driving licence.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Shannon said: “We are urging
anybody who may be aware of illegal drivers using the roads to
contact the police immediately.
“Anybody found to be driving illegally can face being arrested.
We will use all available powers to seize illegal vehicles and
remove them from the roads. By doing this, we are helping safeguard
the lives of others.
“It can be devastating if you are involved in a collision with
an illegal driver. We want to put a stop to this and get the
message across that we are targeting those who are driving
illegally.
“The public can be reassured that we will
not tolerate crime on our roads. If you suspect an illegal driver
please contact us.”
Penalties for illegal drivers can include:
• Driving without insurance: 6-8 points and up to £5,000
fine (£200 for fixed penalty ticket)
• Driving whilst disqualified: 6 points, up to £5,000 fine and
you could face a minimum 6 month prison sentence
• Driving other than in accordance with your driving licence:
3-6 points and £1,000 fine
• Failing to identify the driver of the vehicle: 3 points
North Wales Police are asking for the public’s assistance in
their efforts to make the roads safer for all.
