A Derbyshire pensioner who drove for years without renewing their licence had their car seized at the weekend.

On Saturday, December 17, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit spotted an elderly driver at Duckmanton whose car had broken down due to a clutch failure.

Officers then discovered that the motorist, who was over the age of 70, had not renewed their licence since 2017. The law requires drivers to renew their licence every three years once they reach 70 years old.
