The driver’s car was subsequently seized and a £200 fine was issued to both people for breaking lockdown rules.
Special Inspector Kevin Freeman tweeted: “If you’re going to drive your car with no insurance make sure the reason isn’t because you're not following #COVID19 guidelines and travelling from slough to Northampton to visit friends.”
The third lockdown, announced by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson on January 4, means that the public must stay at home, stay local and not make any non-essential journeys.
