A car has been seized after police discovered its driver had been driving for 35 years without ever passing a test. The driver of a silver Ford Fiesta was stopped by the force on the outskirts of Retford - he had been driving up until that point under his provisional licence.
Nottinghamshire Police say he had borrowed the car from his sister to make some repairs. The car had to be seized by police due to the driver being unqualified.
A spokesperson for the Nottinghamshire Roads Policing Unit said: "This silver Fiesta was spotted on a small country road on the outskirts of Retford and grabbed our attention. The driver had borrowed the car from his sister to make some repairs.
"Unfortunately for them both he wasn't covered on the insurance and he's never passed a test despite driving for 35 years on a provisional. Car seized and the relevant paperwork issued."
