It turns out you can outrun the law, but only for 72 years.
Police pulled over an 84-year-old driver in Bulwell, U.K., this week only to discover he didn’t have a valid license … ever.
The retired man, who police said had trouble standing and hearing, admitted that he’d been driving without a license or insurance since he was 12 years old, SWNS reported.
"Thankfully he had never had an accident, caused anyone an injury, and never made anyone lose out financially, by hitting them whilst uninsured!"

He went all those years without being pulled over?
Imagine all the money he saved.
Yeah. There is that.
As if this was unusual.
Anarchy for the UK.
The guy did it.
Obviously licensing is unnecessary for this chap as the license is supposed to be some form of credential for competent driving.
The snot nosed whippersnappers demanding he now be licensed, after 70+ years of incident free driving, would be demanding my immigrant Italian grandmother be “licensed” to cook Sunday spaghetti dinner.
And that’s the way it was and we LIKED IT too!
He probably bought alot of used cars, which also saved him money.
“hitting them whilst uninsured”.
Oh the horror!!!
The insurance companies will probably sue him for lost revenue.
That’s what I was thinking.
Good for him!
Stop him before he drives again.
How did he get plates without insurance?
Not real familiar, but I know in UK the plates stay with the car rather than the driver.
I drove for 20 years on a suspended license. It can be done. Glad I’m legal now, but those fines can be onerous for poor ppl, especially for misdemeanor violations such as no registration.
Good for him. The prison that our country has become demands too much of us.
Just think, the man saved at least $1500 a year on insurance and $200 to $500 on licens tags every year for 60 years. Brilliant!
Summon the royal executioner for his heinous acts.
Not surprising if you obey traffic laws.
No one read the rest of the article.
He was found out because a traffic camera detected the car was improperly registered. Big Brother indeed.
