AVON and Somerset Police's road policing unit has reported seizing two vehicles yesterday (Sunday).

A banned motorist came to the attention of police after narrowly avoiding a collision.

Officers carried out checks on the driver following the incident on the M5 between junctions 23 and 22.

They discovered the driver should not even have been behind the wheel.

A spokesperson said: "Checks showed the driver was recently disqualified after totting up.

"Driver arrested and dealt with. Day in court awaits."

A second vehicle was impounded in Weston-super-Mare after police discovered it was being driven by another disqualified driver, who is also being sent to court.
