BIRMINGHAM

An idiotic banned driver was caught behind the wheel - after illegally parking in a taxi rank... at a probation appointment.

Officers have hit out after the motorist who had been jailed for causing serious injury through dangerous driving was spotted behind the wheel of a motor in Birmingham – despite being banned.

West Midlands Police said the motorist – who was released having served half his 22-month sentence for causing serious injury – was caught driving the Black Vauxhall Astra while visiting his probation officer.

The car was also parked in a taxi rank in Theatre Approach in Birmingham City Centre, a spokesman said.


They took to social media to say: "A male who has just been released from prison having served half his 22-month sentence for causing serious injury by dangerous driving and disqualified driving is back in the cells.

"He drove this cloned vehicle to probation and parked in a taxi rank. #neverlearn #tooleanient.
