A driver who didn't realise they'd been travelling around Reading without insurance for seven months was left to walk home after police stopped the car.
The driver has since been reported and the car was seized by police.
Thames Valley Police (TVP) Roads policing shared the image of the vehicle on Twitter yesterday afternoon (January 28), adding: "The driver of this car didn't realise they had been driving around #reading without insurance for the last 7 months!
