THE AGE: (25/11/21): ODD SPOT – Russell
A 37-year-old German man made on monumental error on the day of his driving test. He drove there by himself before he had his license. The examiner preparing to conduct the man’s test was gob smacked when the learner pulled up in an Opal Zafira, explaining he drove because he was determined not to be late. Although he arrived on time, the test was cancelled, and police were called. Officers are now investigating the man for driving without a license.
