If you're caught driving while disqualified, can a police officer impound your car on the spot?

In New Zealand, if you are caught driving while your license has been revoked, the police have the authority to seize your vehicle on the spot. This regulation is very important due to its significant safety implications and legal consequences. First, a revoked driving license is typically due to serious traffic violations or criminal activities, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or extreme reckless driving. Allowing such drivers to continue operating vehicles on the road greatly increases the risk of traffic accidents, posing a threat not only to themselves but also to other innocent road users.
