Police were left stunned after pulling over one of Britain’s worst drivers, who was found to have a staggering 96 points on his licence.
Officers stopped the motorist on Christine Street in Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent, on Boxing Day after it was flagged as being uninsured.
They discovered the 23-year-old Vauxhall Astra driver was already disqualified and had a whopping 96 points to his name.
Staffordshire Police seized the vehicle and reported him for driving without insurance and driving while disqualified.
The man was given a further extension to his driving ban – meaning he is now disqualified until 2027.

Officers said they were shocked to find the man behind the wheel already had 96 points on his driving licence
The force said it would also be liaising with the Crown Prosecution Service to push for the driver to be given a prison sentence.
People can be disqualified from driving for six months for building up 12 or more penalty points within three years, with the limit dropping to six points for new drivers.
They face a 12-month ban if they pick up a second disqualification within three years and a two-year ban if they get a third disqualification.
Sharing details of the incident on X, formerly Twitter, Staffordshire Police Roads Policing Unit said: ‘Unbelievably this chap had 96 points already on his licence.
‘We will be asking the CPS to make representations for a custodial sentence due to the clear lack of care for the law.’
When asked on social media how someone can have this many points, the force replied: ‘By just ignoring any punishment and continuing to drive, gets caught and keeps getting more and more points.’
Another social media user commented: ’96!!!!!! How the hell can that happen and a custodial not? Should be banned form driving for life after a few years inside.’
One person said: ’96. Boy that must be the record.’
And another put: ‘It beggars belief how can he amass 96 points and still driving.’
