Car Seized in uk/topic/hanley/">Hanley After Provisional Driver Caught Without Supervision or L Plates
Hanley, Staffordshire — April 25, 2025
Police seized a vehicle in Hanley after stopping a driver who was only on a provisional licence and driving without the required L plates or suitable supervision.
The incident was highlighted by officers after they pulled over the car—dubbed a “sweet chariot” in their social media post—during routine patrols. It quickly became clear that the driver was breaching multiple licence conditions.
In the UK, provisional licence holders must be supervised by a qualified driver over the age of 21 who has held a full driving licence for at least three years. They must also clearly display L plates on their vehicle.
A spokesperson for the local policing unit said:
“The vehicle was seized from Hanley after the driver was found to be driving on a provisional licence without appropriate supervision or L plates.
The driver has been reported for the relevant offences.”
The car has been impounded, and the driver will face further action through the courts.
Police continue to remind learner drivers of the legal requirements they must meet before driving independently on public roads to ensure the safety of all road users.
