Warwickshire Police's OPU Unit, who stopped the car on the A452 Banbury Spur, said: "The driver was well aware as this was an advisory on his MOT in May, 4,000 miles ago.

"As he is a probationary licence holder, he is likely going to revert back to a provisional licence and will have to start all over again."
