UK drivers charged up to £26 a day for police car storageDrivers across the UK are being charged as much as £26 a day to get their car stored by police after it has been seized. West Yorkshire was the third worst area in England for police car seizures behind only the West Midlands and Greater Manchester. Across the UK, Dundee in Scotland fared worst of all, with 23,344 cars seized by police compared to 20,124 for West Yorkshire, according to figures issued by the RAC. West Yorkshire moved up a place to second in the dubious table for police seizures which led to a car being destroyed, with 4,138 - which means over 1 in 5 cars seized in West Yorkshire are later destroyed by police. The RAC says it can cost drivers £26 a day in fees and fines while their cars are being held by police, and as much as £192 in total.
