AN unlicensed driver from Frankston has had his ute impounded for the second time this year.

The 36-year-old was spotted driving by Somerville highway patrol officers on Brunel Road in Seaford on 17 September. Police followed the car and found it later on Stephenson Road.

The car was towed away and impounded for at least a month with a $961 release fee.

The driver of the ute was summonsed to appear at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Somerville highway patrol has multiple vehicles which are equipped with automatic number plate recognition technology. The technology can alert police to vehicles which are stolen, have false or stolen plates, are unregistered, or which may be driven by unlicensed drivers.
