On Sunday, August 14, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit were patrolling the M1, when a driver made a last-ditch exit after noticing their marked car.

In a tweet, a DRPU spokesperson said: “A bit of experience was used and we waited a bit further along and, hey-presto, he passes us a few minutes later.”

Officers stopped the motorist and discovered that he had been driving for 25 years – despite only holding a provisional licence.

The unlicensed driver saw his vehicle confiscated by officers.
