Greater Manchester Police Traffic seized a vehicle in Wythenshawe on Tuesday (3 August) night after its driver tried to escape punishment by ducking his head beneath the door panel as he drove past officers.
After declaring "You can't stop me if you didn't see me" when stopped, the driver was allegedly found to have been driving without a licence or insurance.
The red Vauxhall motor was subsequently seized and the driver reported.
Driving without a licence is a serious offence that can carry significant penalties. Under the Road Traffic Act 1998, it is an offence to drive a vehicle without a licence that is appropriate to a vehicle of that particular class.
There are a number of circumstances under which you may be charged with driving without a licence. Firstly, if you have not passed a driving test but have been caught behind the wheel, you may be given:
- Between three and six penalty points for when you do have a licence
- A maximum fine of £1,000
- A possible ban, enforceable when you do pass your test
