A team spokesman said: “This again is a warning to drivers within the Mansfield and Warsop area, please ensure your vehicles are legal.

“Tax, MoT and insurance are a legal requirement and without them your vehicle can be seized.

“This driver had to insure the vehicle and pay a release fee.

“Set a reminder, make it on the calender to ensure you don't fall foul of forgetting.”
