PC Hughes said that the driver tried to leave but was not in luck.

"It wasn't hard to find, the driver tried to leave but after some checks I found they were not a full license holder and therefore not insured."

PC Hughes adds that the pictures tell the story. The muddy brown coloured motor was taken away on the back of a truck.
