In Italy, the police have stopped one of the oldest traffic offenders of all time.
The pensioner, born in 1920, was driving her car in the middle of the night in the center of the small northern Italian town of Bondeno, the authorities said.
During the check, a police patrol discovered that the driver’s license had expired for two years.
The driver was noticed because around 1:00 a.m. she drove quickly, but repeatedly through the same streets. In addition, the woman no longer had insurance for her car. The vehicle was then impounded and taken away by a tow truck.
Legend:
The police noticed that the woman kept driving through the same streets (symbolic image).

The woman herself was taken home by the police. According to her own account, she had set out to visit friends outside of the city. Bondeno is located in the Emilia-Romagna region and has around 15,000 inhabitants.
