Title: The way to travel..
Post by: Scrumpy on January 28, 2022, 08:12:07 AM

A man in Nottinghamshire had been driving for over 70 years without a license or insurance.. Police discovered this after speaking to him in a car park..!!

Us pensioners can work the system too .. not only the young..!!

scarcely credible. As a police spokesman said, just as well he never hit anyone or anything

He had been driving since the age of 12..!!
  Imagine all the insurance money he saved.. !
I bet he gets one of those scooter things that the young fly around on..

Now if I hadn't heard that on this morning's news I'd be checking the logs carefully for failed logins suspecting a certain Brian may be honing his hacking skills  :grin:

I think Mike was laughing at the reference to Brian. He went pretty quiet (silent here as didn't register) so you maybe wouldn't have had the joys of a Brian thread.

It was the Brian reference that caused the mirth, not the idiot driver

doesnt sound like an idiot to me driving for seventy years without a blemish, just one speeding ticket and he would have been caught....

Lets me out then.

Those bloody vans hiding just past where the limit changes need banning. They don't put the damned things where there are accidents they put them where they can catch folks out. The more the better for them.

The idiocy is that he was content to let others take the risk of a collision involving an uninsured driver, leaving them potentially heavily out of pocket
