Driver Stopped by Kent Police After Asking About Court Date for Driving Without a License

A driver was stopped by Kent Roads Policing Unit (RPU) after being spotted driving without a license, insurance, MOT, or tax – just weeks after approaching officers to inquire about his court date for a similar offense.

The incident, which unfolded earlier tonight, has been highlighted on the Kent Police Roads Policing Twitter account, where officers shared their disbelief at the driver’s actions.

Repeat Offense

A spokesperson for the RPU said:
“This driver approached officers a couple of weeks ago, asking about his court date for driving without a license. This discussion was pointed out to him tonight when he was seen driving again and stopped.”

The vehicle, found to have no valid insurance, MOT, or tax, was seized, and further enforcement action is expected to follow.

Social Media Reaction

The tweet, which included a face-palm emoji, quickly gained attention, with social media users expressing disbelief at the audacity of the driver. One user commented:
“You can’t make this stuff up! Some people never learn.”

A Stark Reminder

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to legal requirements when driving. Police continue to encourage the public to report any suspicious or illegal driving activity.

Anyone with concerns about unsafe or unlicensed drivers can report them via the Kent Police website or by calling 101.
