• Vehicles that are impounded will be confiscated by he courts and sold at auction with the money going into Government coffers. Details of the decision to impound vehl cles (CM 2-8 May) will be published over the next few month, in a consultation document, says Roads Minister Ste,,er Norris. "The Government will sell the truck as part of -hipenalty", he warns. The police, Traffic Commissioners or 'ht Vehicle Inspectorate will need the power to detain the vehick and the court will have the authority to confiscate it—th€ Home Office is keen to avoid taking on these roles.
