Best Answer

The police can seize a car if they believe it is being driven by someone who does not hold a valid driving licence.

To reclaim a seized car, the owner can attend the relevant police force pound and present a valid driving licence, proof of insurance and proof of ownership. Once those documents have been presented, the owner must pay the recovery fee (which tends to go up every day the car is impounded). If the owner does not claim the car within a set time frame (which changes depending on the police force), the car will be destroyed.
