Despite the driver only having a provisional licence, the car was not displaying any L plated and he was not accompanied by a suitable supervisor.

Halifax Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “The driver thought that after having a provisional licence for three years, you could automatically drive on your own as a full licence holder.”
