The driver was reported to court

The No Excuse team reported:

“We had a fairly quiet evening despite the amount of traffic in the area.

“The vehicle was stopped for doing 45 mph in a 30 on the High Street in Swanage. His insurance policy covered him for social, domestic and personal uses only but he was using it for business purposes.

“The vehicle was seized and the driver reported to court. Please ensure you have the correct level of cover for your journey.”
