A driver handed police a fake driving licence for the Only Fools and Horses character Del Boy Trotter when he was pulled over by officers.

Officers pulled the driver over in Terrington, near King's Lynn, to find he was driving without insurance.

The fake licence he handed to officers was in the name of Del Trotter and said he was only qualified to drive a three-wheeled car.

Norfolk and Suffolk Police Dog Unit tweeted: "#BonnetDeDouche everybody, not even this #Plonkers fake driving licence could stop their car being seized.

"Driver reported No DL & No Ins #A47 Terrington. #PotPourri #68."

Along with the faux-French phrases of which David Jason's character was so fond, they tweeted a picture of the licence.

They later added that it had not been produced in an effort to deceive police, and wrote: "It was seen after the driver had been dealt with which made us both laugh."
