A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary tweeted: ‘We were called at 9.12am with reports that a Ford Fiesta had collided with bollards at Tesco car park in Fareham.

‘Police attended and the vehicle was subsequently seized for having no insurance.’

Posting the incident on social media, Hants Roads Policing Unit tweeted: ‘This car was driven to Tesco just to get a trifle.

‘However the driver had a revoked licence and no insurance so it’s cost him his car and a day at court.

‘Not a trifling matter any more.’
