An 83-year-old man in Nottinghamshire, England, drove without insurance or a license for more than 70 years, Great Britain’s Sky News reported on Thursday.

According to officers who pulled the man over, he claimed he had been driving since the age of 12 and had never been stopped by police before.

"Thankfully he had never had an accident, caused anyone an injury, and never made anyone lose out financially, by hitting them whilst uninsured,” the Bulwell, Rise Park and Highbury Vale Police Department wrote on the department’s Facebook page. 

"Due to the increased number of…  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."
