Seized nuisance vehicles to fuel training for student mechanics

Two vehicles which have been seized in a crackdown on nuisance bikes and anti-social driving are set to be put to better use as training tools for our student mechanics.

The vehicles, seized as part of Operation Transom – a joint city council and Staffordshire crackdown – have been donated to Stoke on Trent College to support the training of future mechanics.

The Yamaha motorbike and Toyota Verso car were both seized for being driven without valid insurance.

Rather than being scrapped, both vehicles will now be put to positive use as a hands-on learning resource for our learners studying motor vehicle and mechanical engineering courses.
