A sports car was seized at a Sussex beauty spot during a "large car meet".
Officers took the vehicle away on the back of a lorry after it was driven "in a manner that causes alarm or annoyance to other road users" at Beachy Head on Sunday afternoon.
Eastbourne Police posted a picture of the blue car as it was being removed on social media with the caption: "The driver of this vehicle will have some time to think about their actions after they were stopped due to their manner of driving along Beachy Head Road.
"The driver already had a Section 59 driving warning and their vehicle was seized."
The force revealed a total of eight Section 59 orders were issued, as well as multiple traffic offence reports.
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 relates to "vehicles used in a manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance".
Sussex Roads Police officers also attended the car meet, and posted an update on the event on social media on Sunday.
A spokesman said: "Large car meet at Beachy Head this afternoon. If you want to admire each other's cars, no problem. If you want to drive in a manner that causes alarm or annoyance to other road users, then you run the risk of your vehicle being seized, like this one."
