Police officers on a routine patrol said they were stunned when they pulled over a driver in his 80s in the parking lot of a supermarket. The man, born in 1938, told them he had never had a driver’s license or insurance and that he had been driving since he was 12 years old. The man explained that he had managed to drive all those years without ever being stopped and had never been involved in an accident. Due to the increased number of traffic cameras in Nottingham, even on small trips you’re likely to hit a camera, so the man was even luckier than he realized. Driving without a license is punishable by between 3 and 6 points being added to your driving record, as well as a fine, especially if the driver has no insurance. In this case, officers didn't say what punishment the man received but because they can seize vehicles that aren’t insured, they hinted that the man may have had to walk home.
