He will now be facing a driving disqualification, up to 20 points and a ‘hefty’ fine in Oxford Magistrates Court.

Thames Valley Police said: “Probably not the smartest of ideas when you only have a provisional driving license and no insurance.

“One bright yellow Seat seized and one not so bright driver reported for the offences of driving whilst using a mobile phone, driving otherwise in accordance with a license, and driving without insurance.”
