A woman on the school run was stopped by police for having no tax or insurance.

Dorset Police's No Excuse team has been cracking down on speeding drivers and those without tax and insurance.

Officers visited Melplash on Wednesday morning to support the community speed watch team after receiving complaints around early morning speeding vehicles.

They moved onto the coast road between Bridport and Weymouth where they stopped a Ford Focus due to the vehicle being shown as having no insurance.

Initially, the driver tried to avoid officers, but she was stopped in Abbotsbury.

She had purchased the vehicle but failed to get insurance or tax.

The vehicle was seized and the driver has been reported.
