An Israel Police Traffic Enforcement Unit spokesman reported on Thursday, 28 Sivan, that a driver who has never been issued a driver’s license has been caught again. He was arrested and arraigned immediately.

In an enforcement operation carried out by the police on Wednesday near the Lehavim Intersection, the police arrested a 27-year-old driver from the south who, after checking his identity, discovered that the driver had never been issued a driver’s license.

The report adds that he was apprehended driving in 2014 as well. At that time, the court ruled he may not get a driver’s license for six years. When police on Thursday asked why he was still driving, he apologized for his actions.

However, police were not moved by his apology and he was arrested and taken for an expeditious arraignment hearing in front of a Beersheva Traffic Court justice.

Police add that during this week, they apprehended 21 drivers operating a vehicle on a suspended license and 49 drivers operating a vehicle despite their license being suspended for serious traffic offenses.
