It was a busy day for officers in the Thames Valley Police as several people were arrested for motor vehicle offenses in the county.
Throughout Thursday, May 12th in south Buckinghamshire, several cars and vans including an Audi A3 were seized at Chalfont St Giles.
The authorities tried to stop the car, but it “quickly took off and entered the village’s car park to avoid the officers.”

However, TVP Chiltern & South Bucks confirmed that the driver of the car, which had the learner’s plate in the back, “was arrested and detained for drug-driving and otherwise driving in accordance with the license”.
The car was later seized.
On the same day, a driver was arrested in Amersham for “overtaking traffic in line” while also passing a red light.
It was also revealed that the driver of the car did so in front of a police car.
The driver has been reported and now faces points on his license and a fine.
Bypassing queuing traffic and driving through a red light is never a great idea but doing it right in front of us is a really bad idea
