Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 10:02 · Archive

South Oxfordshire police have issued three Section 59 warning letters this week to drivers engaging in anti-social driving behaviour. The force warned that vehicles could be seized if drivers reoffend within 12 months of receiving a warning.

Police said Section 59 warnings can be issued when a vehicle is being driven in an anti-social manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public. Examples cited include revving cars loudly through town centres and racing. Officers said that if the same vehicle or driver comes to their attention again within 12 months, the vehicle could be seized.

In a Facebook post, police referenced popular culture to make their point, mentioning The Inbetweeners and Fast & Furious films. They urged drivers to 'drive sensibly, respect the community' and told those engaging in such behaviour to 'save the racing, revving and Fast & Furious auditions for somewhere else'.
