Driver caught cruising on a licence expired 40 years ago in Dover! Kent Roads Policing Unit (RPU) officers stopped a motorist in Dover who was driving on a licence that expired in 1981 — over 40 years ago.

The shock did not end there; the driver also had a history of drink driving bans.

During routine checks, officers discovered the expired licence and quickly issued a Traffic Offense Report (TOR). The vehicle was seized immediately, removing the reckless driver from the roads.
