A car being driven 'extremely slowly' and with its hazard lights on resulted in a driver being reported by police.
Officers from C Shift of the Fareham & Gosport District Policing Team spotted the White Corsa driving towards Gosport on Fareham Road at around 1.35am on Friday.
The officers involved said the car was being driven 'extremely slowly', so they decided to stop the vehicle to see what was going on.

It turned out that they had a flat tyre and the driver said he was going to call for a recovery vehicle.
Officers then conducted routine checks on police systems and it revealed that the car had no insurance and no tax.
Upon further questioning, the driver only had a provisional licence.
The vehicle was seized and the driver was reported for those offences.
"On a positive note, the driver did not have to call for his own recovery," the officers involved said.
