A driver with 29 points on his licence was left ‘begging and pleading’ with officers after being stopped along a major Derbyshire A-road.

On Tuesday, February 13, officers from the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit (DRPU) were on patrol along the A38, close to Junction 28 of the M1 at South Normanton.

A DRPU spokesperson said: “If this driver used his mirrors and had seen the fully marked police vehicle, he’d have thought better of driving straight through a red light.

“He then begs and pleads due to having a staggering 29 points on his licence!”
