VOSA Vehicle Impounding

Any sized goods vehicle that has been illegally operated without an appropriate operators licence may be detained and impounded.

If this happens to you, mosshaselhurst, your HGV solicitor, can help.

Should this happen, you will have 21 days to apply for the return of the vehicle after which it may be scrapped or sold. In this case, speed of action is of the essence and you should contact mosshaselhurst, your HGV solicitor, as soon as possible on 01606 74301.
