While trying to defend himself, the pensioner admitted that he had been behind the wheel since the age of twelve but had never caused any accident or caused injury to anyone.

The driver, who was born in 1938, coughed that he had been driving with no licence and no insurance, since he was 12 years old and somehow had managed to never be stopped by the police. 'Thankfully he had never had an accident [or] caused anyone an injury." the Facebook post read.

The police used the opportunity to warn other motorists to make sure their documents are in order whenever they hit the road.

They disclosed the department had increased the number of ANPR cameras in Nottingham to curb such incidences.

"Due to the increased number of ANPR cameras in Nottingham, even on the small trips you are likely to hit a camera, so make sure your documents are in order... because it will catch up with you one day."

It is not yet clear if the police arrested the old man or took any action against him.
