A DRIVER was left to walk the rest of his journey home after he was caught without insurance in Basildon.

Officers from the Essex Police Operational Support Group had pulled the car over late last night after it was found to have no insurance registered.

The driver behind the wheel was also found to be uninsured so was fined.

His miserable evening was topped off when the officers took the vehicle and meant he was forced to walk home.

The OSG tweeted: “The driver of this VW Golf was stopped in #Basildon as the vehicle showed no insurance.

“The 22 year old driver does not have insurance and has been issued a ticket for 6 points and £300 fine.

“The vehicle has been seized and he is walking home.”
