Fast-Food delivery driver driving on illegal tyres had a provisional licence which expired in 1983
A fast-food delivery driver has been caught driving with illegal tyres, defective lights and with a provisional licence which expired in 1983.
Officers from Derbyshire's Road Policing Unit pulled the silver Citroen over in IIkeston on Saturday night while it was on route to deliver a Chinese takeaway.
Roadside checks revealed that two tyres were so badly damaged that they had their cords exposed.
Further checks on the driver showed that he was driving on a provisional licence which had expired in 1983.
Using social media to highlight the offences, a spokesperson for the police said: "Acting on community intelligence, this vehicle delivering food for a Chinese takeaway stopped.
"Two tyres with cords exposed, defective lights and a driver whose provisional licence expired in 1983. We've just ordered a 'number 165' with sweet and sour sauce."
