Further police checks revealed that the driver had been stopped, and his car seized, just a few days prior for the same offences.

"It's the second time in a week for this driver. Still no license and still no insurance. Vehicle seized again and driver reported!", tweeted Lancashire Road Police.

The car was again seized by police and the driver has been reported for repeated offences.

Lancashire Police have been approached for comment.
