A driver who was yet to pass their test has already been taken off the roads after being stopped in Coventry. Police swooped on the Vauxhall driver yesterday evening (Monday, November 25).

Officers from Coventry Police stopped the Vauxhall in the city at around 9pm yesterday (November 25). Officers detained the driver, who has not been named.

Police found that the person was driving without a supervising passenger and did not have L plates on the vehicle, they said on X. It led to the Vauxhall being seized. Learner plates and a qualified driver are both legal requirements for anyone learning to drive.

A spokesman for North West Coventry Police said: “If you are a learner driver, do not forget the following, a supervising passenger with a full driving licence for three years, and your L plates for the front and rear. Unfortunately, the owner of this vehicle forgot both, so the vehicle has been seized.”

In his first term Trump ordered two 747-8 jumbo jets to be heavily updated and they were slated for delivery in 2026 and 2027. However, the $3.9 billion deal with Boeing is reportedly so delayed that the models will be ready only after the 78-year-old leaves the White House. The MAGA chief reportedly made the deal his p
