POLICE seized a vehicle after a roadside stop.
North Yorkshire Police say officers stopped a Citroën Berlingo van on a major road in the early hours this morning (March 21).
Sgt Paul Cording was one of the officers on the scene.
He said: "The vehicle was sighted heading out of Harrogate by local units and followed until colleagues from operational support could assist.
"It was sighted on A1(M) and stopped at Wetherby.
"The driver only had a provisional licence and no insurance so they were reported and the vehicle seized.
"Unbelievably his front near side wheel with only had one nut holding it on.
"A complete disregard for road safety and a disaster waiting to happen.
"Thankfully we got to him first.
"He was further reported for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition."
