Warwickshire Police said the BMW 520d was intercepted by officers on the A444 Jimmy Hill Way near Bedworth. It said the driver, a 64-year-old man, had first applied for his provisional licence in September 1978, but had never taken or passed a driving test. The force reported the man, who was not supervised or using L plates, for driving other than in accordance with a licence. Follow BBC Coventry & Warwickshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.
