Police seized 12 vehicles across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole during checks on uninsured drivers in a single day.
Dorset Roads Policing officers carried out the day of action on Tuesday as part of a wider enforcement campaign, finding motorists using the roads without valid insurance and seizing their vehicles during a single shift.
The checks form part of OpDriveInsured26, a dedicated week of activity focused on identifying drivers without the required insurance and taking action against those found driving vehicles that are not properly covered.
Police have warned that driving uninsured can result in a vehicle being seized, penalty points being added to a driver's licence and a substantial fine, with disqualification also a possible consequence.
Motorists are being encouraged to take time this week to check their insurance arrangements and make sure their policy is "valid and adequate" for themselves, the vehicle they use and their circumstances.
The police message to anyone considering driving without the necessary cover is clear: "No insurance. No excuse." Officers say the enforcement activity is aimed specifically at uninsured drivers in the BCP area.
