Controversial powers for police to confiscate vehicles if their driver is
using a mobile or not wearing a seatbelt are to be used across London.

A total of 1,800 cars, vans and motorcycles were impounded during the trial
in Hounslow, using powers introduced last year under the Road Traffic Act
that allow police to pull over vehicles that have aroused their suspicion.

Most drivers lost their vehicles after they were stopped for relatively
minor traffic offences.
