Serial drink-drivers could have their cars seized under proposals being considered by the Government.

The powers would bring England and Wales into line with Scotland where anyone convicted  a second time is at risk of losing their car.
According to the latest figures nearly one in four motorists banned for drink or drug driving will have at least one previous conviction for the same offence
The problem appears to have worsened over the past decade. In the year 2000, 13,299 motorists received at least their second ban for driving under the influence, by 2009 this had risen to 19,605
Since the confiscation powers were introduced in Scotland in 2009, police have caught 357 repeat offenders. This has resulted in the 105 cars being seized, of which 72 have been confiscated permanently
The threat to confiscate cars from serial drink drivers is among a series of measures contained in the Government strategy.
Other changes will see offenders who are considerably over the limit will be subject to tougher controls before having their licences returned.
