A newly-qualified driver had his brand new car seized after being pulled over by police.

The driver of a Volkswagen Golf R, who police said had only recently passed their test, was stopped on the M25 at Chorleywood in Hertfordshire.

Officers from the road policing unit said the driver had earlier failed to stop for police and the car was not insured.

The vehicle was seized and the driver has been reported to court.

Posting about the incident on X, and listing the offences the driver was said to have committed, officers wrote: "How to lose your brand new Golf R with 137 miles on the clock [and] licence in one."
