A spokesperson for the police explained: "The driver decided to insure his car to a relative's restaurant in Gloucestershire rather than his home address in Coventry.

"The driver was also delivering for two well-known online food and shop delivery companies without any valid business cover.

"The driver has been reported for the offence of driving without correct Insurance and the vehicle has been seized."
