This wasn’t a good enough excuse as the car was seized at the scene.

Following the incident, a spokesperson for Derbyshire Policing Unit said: “If you're not 100 % sure you have a substantive licence, for instance, if you've previously been banned for drink or drug offences, you can check it online.”
