'The driver, who was born in 1938, coughed that he had been driving with no licence and no insurance, since he was 12 years old and somehow had managed to never be stopped by the police
'Thankfully he had never had an accident [or] caused anyone an injury.’
They warned: ‘Due to the increased number of ANPR cameras in Nottingham, even on the small trips you are likely to hit a camera, so make sure your documents are in order... because it will catch up with you one day.’
It is not clear if the police took any action against the pensioner.
