Mr Peter Anderson Our Reference 795/18

[FOI #490820 email] Date 10 July 2018

Dear Mr Anderson

I write in connection with your request for information dated 12^th June
2018 under the Freedom of Information Act which was transferred to us from
the Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner.

Specifically you asked:

1. How many vehicles you have seized for no insurance in the year 2017?

2. How many vehicles you seized for no VEL  road tax in the year 2017 ?

3. How many returned to road use, previously accident damaged vehicles did
you randomly check for the source of the parts used to repair them since
OCT 2015?

4. How many traffic officers you have?

Our response:

 1. The number of vehicles seized where no insurance was held is not
specifically recorded. We do record the number of vehicles seized
under S165 for no insurance and/or no driving license held. Please let
us know if you would like to request the total figure for vehicles
seized for no insurance and for no driving licence held as a total.

 2. This information is not held by the Constabulary. You may wish to
contact the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency ([1]DVLA) as they may
be able to assist you. I have provided a link for reference.

 3. This information is not held by the constabulary. You may wish to
contact the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency ([2]DVSA) as they may
be able to assist you. I have provided a link for reference.
