Under the Goods Vehicle (Enforcement Powers) Regulations the authorities can impound goods vehicles which appear to be being operated without authorisation. Any vehicle not recovered by its owner is liable to be sold or scrapped. Given the high cost of certain commercial vehicles, the decision to impound a vehicle can have serious financial implications for owners.
