Cleveland Police are receiving a number of complants from members of the public annoyed by anti-social driving. So this is a polite but firm advisory to all those wannabe rally drivers using the current icy conditions as an excuse to fool around and innapropriately practise their sideward driving skills. Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 refers to vehicles being used in a manner which causes alarm, distress or annoyance. Where a vehicle is used in this way, or otherwise amounts to careless or inconsiderate driving, a constable in uniform has significant powers to seize and confiscate your vehicle. So even if you manage to pull off some fancy driving and avoid dinging your alloys against a kerb (or worse) you might still find yourself with a long cold walk home and a hefty bill (hundreds of pounds) to reclaim your seized vehicle. Please be warned. Our officers have their ticket books at hand and there are no shortage of recovery trucks eager to come and tow your precious car away
