An Oxford motorist has had their vehicle seized 10 days after receiving a Section 59 warning for anti-social driving.
A motorist in Oxford has had their vehicle seized 10 days after receiving a Section 59 warning from police for repeatedly driving in an anti-social manner. The driver was stopped by officers soon after the warning was issued and continued the same behaviour, prompting the seizure.
Section 59 warnings are issued to drivers using their vehicles in an anti-social way and remain in place for 12 months. If the driver is caught reoffending during that period, police have the power to seize the vehicle. The Oxford Neighbourhood Team said: 'Unfortunately for one motorist, they were stopped by officers just 10 days after receiving a Section 59 warning. As a result of continuing the behaviour, their vehicle was seized.'
As part of recent patrols in Oxford, Thames Valley Police also targeted illegal e-bikes and e-scooters, seizing a number of vehicles from the streets. Officers said the vehicles pose a danger to pedestrians and other road users. The patrols included a mix of high-visibility and plain-clothes officers, with police community support officers carrying out regular patrols in parks and neighbourhoods.
