Nice car! Shame the driver was on his phone 🤳 whilst driving on the M54 near Cosford, and then found to be disqualified!!! Vehicle recovered, driver reported, court awaits! #fatal4 OR29

[StaffsRCT @StaffsRCT]

To drive using a provisional licence you need:
- L plates displayed.
- A passenger who is over 21 and held a full licence for 3+ years.
- Dual controls if you are using the Motorway.
This driver didn't have dual controls and car has now been seized... TH

Tuesday thoughts❔❓

How many people are convicted of drink related driving offences on average per year in England and Wales? 🚘🍻🚫

🌟 For a chance to WIN a thin blue line badge, like, retweet and comment what percentage of these you think were male/female...🤔

[OPU Shropshire @OPUShropshire]

Things we don't recommend:

💔 Having a domestic with your ex
🍻 Driving off drunk
🗣️ Boasting about how you will fail to stop for Police...

When said driver saw us in his rear view mirror it was game over.

Male arrested and charged to court to collect his disqualification 🚫
