Ministers clamp down on uninsured drivers article....

[fordperv]

If your mate and his four rugby playing chums had just made sure uninsured-boy hadn't made off before the old bill arrived that would have been fine. Reasonable force and all that.

 

you can only use reasonable force when making a citizens arrest (and stay the right side of the law) for 'serious' offences - according to UK law websites

 

i dont think no motor insurance would be classed as a 'serious' offence

 

Everyones idea of reasonable force is different as long as your actions can be justified its legal, youd be well within your right to put them on the deck if you felt that they were going to get violent because youve removed their car keys so they cant go anywhere before the cops get there
