POLICE are warning young drivers they will be prosecuted - or could even have their vehicles seized - if they cause a nuisance by driving irresponsibly around Minehead. They will also be targeted if they have incorrectly spaced number plates or use illegal flashing lights on their cars. Officers successfully cracked down on anti-social behaviour by young motorists last year after being inundated with complaints about speeding drivers, particularly along the town's seafront. Now local officers are preparing for a second wave of attack by using speed cameras and on-the-spot vehicle checks to clampdown on rogue drivers. A police spokesman said: "Recently, there has been an increase in complaints from members of the public. "This manner of driving will not be tolerated and enforcement action will be taken." Police have also been given new powers to seize any vehicles involved in anti-social behaviour. The spokesman added: "This will cause difficulty for the drivers who lose their vehicles under these circumstances and, therefore, it would be in their own interest to reduce this anti-social behaviour and give consideration to local residents, so ensuring that they can keep their vehicles. "With the summer season and the increase in visitors to Minehead approaching, we want everyone to enjoy our rural location without being frightened by motorists who are determined to spoil everyone's enjoyment of the peace which this region offers." Police have also issued a list of legal dos and don'ts for young drivers: l Coloured lights are illegal under some circumstances - as a guide, any colour but red may be displayed to the front, and nothing but red to the rear. This only covers static lights and then only if they do not cause undue dazzle to other motorists. Flashing or pulsating lights are illegal. l It is illegal to use front fog lights unless there is seriously reduced visibility of less than 100m. l Registration plates or number plates must be correctly spaced and the correct lettering used. No italic or scrolling letters, they are illegal and will be targeted. l Mini motorbikes and gopeds cause annoyance to neighbours and are totally illegal on all road or public places without the necessary documentation, driver's licence, insurance and MoT. One local officer, PC Charlie Fitzpatrick, has also been working with young drivers to set up a local motoring club. The aim is to help motorists get the most out of their vehicles and to help them ensure any modifications they have made are legal. The club has yet to come to fruition, but anyone who would be interested in joining can contact PC Fitzpatrick at Minehead police station on 0845 456 7000. His colleague, Sergeant Trevor Short is also available on the same number for help and advice concerning current motoring legislation.
