A motorist has had his car seized after driving without a license - for fifty years.
Police were stunned when they pulled over the pensioner in Derbyshire and he revealed he'd been driving illegally since he was 19.
The 69-year-old driver, who has not been named, tricked insurance companies for over five decades claiming he had a license.
Derbyshire Road Policing Unit stopped and seized the car before reporting the man to police for several offences.
A spokesperson for the Derbyshire RPU tweeted on Saturday: "The driver of this vehicle has never passed a test despite being 69 years old and having been driving for over 50 years.
"He has systematically provided details to insurance companies indicating that he had a license but the flaw in his dastardly plan was bragging. "His long reign came to an abrupt end once we found out. Vehicle seized and driver reported for numerous offences."
