THERE was a bitter twist of irony as a driver - who only had a provisional licence - had their car seized in Newton Abbot yesterday…
As police pulled the car over in Newton town centre, officers noticed an eye-catching bumper sticker, which read: ‘Sorry officer, I thought you wanted a race.’
Upon making enquiries, the driver was found to hold only a provisional licence and their vehicle was seized.
A social media post by the Newton Police team later said: ‘Possibly not the best sticker to display if you don’t want to draw attention.’
