But these "new powers" seem pretty weak - the Police can email DVLA and then a few hours later the DVLA might email back to say the licence is revoked/suspended. Don't the Police already have powers to seize vehicles that are being used carelessly etc? <a href="https://www.gov.uk/stopped-by-police-while-driving-your-rights/when-the-police-can-seize-your-vehicle" rel="nofollow">https://www.gov.uk/stopped-by-police-while-driving-your-rights/when-the-police-can-seize-your-vehicle</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9391#post-98711 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:05:22 +0000 chdot 98711@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/9839825/Police-get-new-powers-to-withdraw-licences-from-short-sighted-drivers.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/9839825/Police-get-new-powers-to-withdraw-licences-from-short-sighted-drivers.html</a> </p>
