Police have seized a vehicle in Fraserburgh after the driver was found to be driving alone using only a provisional license.
The road policing officers from Mintlaw stopped the car, a black Peugeot 407, earlier today, where the driver, a 45-year-old man, was found to not be under supervision – as is required with provisional licences – and had no insurance or L plates visible.
As a result, the car has been seized by police.
A spokeswoman said: “Police Scotland can confirm that a 45-year-old man has been charged in connection with driving document offences after being stopped in a vehicle at 11.30pm this morning (Saturday 7 November) in Mintlaw.
“A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”
