Suspicions were confirmed
During the pursuit, the policemen suspected that they were dealing with a driver whom they had already arrested several times for driving without a license. They sent several crews to his house, and the man, as if confirming their suspicions, parked the car right there.
Confession of the driver
During the check, the driver admitted that he had been driving without a driver's license for 40 years. He also pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and explained that he simply got scared and lost control of the situation.
Consequences for the driver
The alcohol test showed a negative result, but this is the third time in a year that a man has been arrested for driving without a license. He faces serious penalties, which may include a fine, disqualification from driving a vehicle, and even prison terms.
This case is a vivid reminder of the importance of following traffic rules and driving responsibly. Driving a car without a driver's license is a serious violation that endangers not only the life of the driver himself, but also the lives of other road users.
