Two uninsured cars have been taking off the road in a policing operation in Derry.

Separately two drivers were detected drifting on a public road.

The PSNI’s Waterside Neighbourhood Policing Team said it dealt with a number of traffic related incidents on top of its normal day-to-day duties at the weekend.

“Two drivers were detected driving recklessly by drifting on a public road. We've also seized two vehicle which had no insurance and which had a number of other offences and issued tickets for speeding and careless driving.

"During this time we've also assisted with three road traffic collisions, hardly surprising considering the fact that people are continuing to drive around with no insurance, defects, expired or no licences, etc., etc. The list could go on.

"While people show no consideration for others on the road never mind themselves we will continue to pick up the pieces left behind by these reckless individuals,” the PSNI said.
