Some people have luck very much on their side, although the same cannot be said of reason in this case. An 84-year-old man has been caught in the United Kingdom who has been driving without a license and insurance since he was 12 years old.
Things can go wrong: you start driving in 1950 at the age of twelve, never get your driver’s license and never insure a car, but still manage to remain undetected by the authorities until 2022. It is the story of a British man, that The Telegraph on the social media channel of a British police team.
The now very elderly man was put aside for a check by the police in Bulwell, England, near Nottingham on Wednesday evening. There he confessed what he has been up to over the past 72 years. According to the officers, he stated that he has been driving without the necessary papers since he was twelve. The police team writes on Facebook that it is a miracle that he was never caught, but also that he never caused any trouble. Because, it is emphasized, if he had caused a collision, it could have had enormous financial consequences on top of the usual suffering.
The unit is not reporting what is happening to the man now. It is customary for his car, a blue Mini, to be confiscated. The 84-year-old can probably also answer to the judge.
