Speeding drivers now risk having their cars impounded. Police forces around the country are turning to a little-known law that allows them to seize vehicles being driven "anti-socially" - causing alarm, distress or harassment. That includes excessive speeding and racing. Owners are charged £105 to get their vehicle back. If they don't pay, it can be crushed after 21 days

The 1st link isin't 2bad, I suppose you can see why they'd do it.

Unless your the new owner of the car when it gets caught for the 2nd time in a year!

Should imagine a few bus and taxi drivers will be miffed with the 2nd!

I'd better slow down a bit in town then in the Avon. Well, I've only spun it once....
