Providing there's no section 59s on the car of courseCars are not given section 59s, the driver is. The car is irrelevant, I could get one in my car, then drive yours and get another one, your car would be seized as that would be my 2nd section 59, even though it was in a separate car
Nope mate your wrong, the S59 applies to both the driver and the vehicle
So if Bob gets stopped driving Daves car and a warning is issued then the next day Bob gets in his own car and Dave gets his car and both go out and drive like knobs then BOTH cars can be seized.
To get issued a warning you must
OR
In a place other than a road (again defined by the RTA)
AND
In a manner causing or likely to cause alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public (not annoyance to the police)
Warnings last for exactly 1 year, apply to person and vehicle (but not passengers) and police can smash into your house to seize your vehicle.
