Motorists given a week to fix faulty vehicles

Tue, 16 Feb 2016

Nine motorists who were caught driving faulty vehicles yesterday have been given a week's grace.

It follows the launch of the new Vehicle Defect Ratification Scheme - those stopped have seven days to fix the problems and report back to police.

One driver had no insurance - officers say they'll be prosecuted.

Police are also reminding people to check their insurance covers them for commuting to work - it's after they stopped a driver who was, only to find the insurance didn't cover them.
