Powys drivers warned: behave or we'll crush your car

DRIVERS are being warned of the expensive consequences of anti-social
driving and driving without tax or insurance.
Dyfed Powys Police spent the day at Morrison's in Newtown to warn people
that their car could be crushed if they are caught committing any of the
offences.
PCSO Paul Wenban and Newtown's Neighbourhood Beat Manager, Wyn Rees, spent
the day handing out information and talking to members of the public.
They also had a crushed car on display to leave people in no doubt of the
consequences of driving without tax or insurance.
They were also keen to let members of the public know that anti-social
driving should not be tolerated and that there are steps they can take to
eliminate problems.
Anti-social driving incorporates behaviour like speeding, thoughtless
driving, mobile phone use and loud music.
Newtown PCSO Paul Wenban said anti-social driving is a problem in Mid Wales
but that the police are equipped to deal with it.
He said: "Anti-social driving is the main problem we've got, boy racers
driving around in a dangerous manner and playing loud music.
"If they are sat outside your house at 11pm with the engine running and loud
music playing that's anti social behaviour and it can go down as a section
59 offence.
"They would then get a warning for that and if they are caught again then
their car can be seized.
"We are trying to educate people to stick within the law," they said.
