ELY magistrates sent out a clear message to drivers this week - insure your car or have it seized and sent to the crusher.
They issued the warning after a fork lift driver, working for Turners, admitted driving without insurance twice within a month.
"You pay scant regard to the law," presiding magistrate Hamish Ross told Anthony Robinson.
"This was not the first time you have been caught with no insurance, and within a month you were caught again. You cocked a snook at authority."
The court was told that Robinson's P-registered Skoda Felicia was seized by police after he was found driving along the A142 Fordham road at Newmarket without insurance on January 19.
Robinson, 44, of Wood Green, Girton, admitted having no insurance, licence or MoT certificate on December 14 and January 19.

"You have a car that may or may not be in police possession, you will forfeit that and it will be destroyed," added Mr Ross.
"The message is, this bench takes a dim view of people with no insurance and who blatantly flout the law.
