Was it you Pete?

[Gene genie]

the rules apply to everyone, no sympathy.
what are the odds on the authorities crushing it though, very slim i reckon.

[Balky001]

haha Footballers as such chavs, illegal dark tinted windows on the Bentley, bet he got the stick on tints from Halfords. I didn't realise Premier League players had to abide by the law, since when was this??

indeed, reckon it was the style police that pulled him over?

no "hand of God" to be seen

[maviczap]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha .......... great

Overpaid monkeys all of em

Unless you're an illegal immigrant, then you're free to go.

[ThEGr33k]

LOL at him :)

haha indeed :(

They are allowed to auction off some stuff that they seize. Bentley for £6K anyone?

[yorkie_chris]

I vote it gets torpedo'd.

[Lou M]

You know when you buy a new bike, the bike shop checks your licence to ensure you've got a full bike licence.
Why on earth don't they do this with cars? I'm assuming said footballer bought new and not second hand.

[yorkie_chris]

Easy enough to say "what's it to yer?" or "it's for the track", it's not the shops responsibility to hold your hand. Personally I'd have no qualms about it, cash talks ... didn't your youngun buy a scutter before she did CBT? :-P

[Gene genie]

Unless you're an illegal immigrant, then you're free to go.
maybe he is baph?

[hovis]

if i was the copper i would have taken a nice "bribe" and sent him on his way

[hovis]

Unless you're an illegal immigrant, then you're free to go.

with a nice FREE 3 bedroomed house

[Dave20046]

****ing awesome

[Bluepete]

Tim, no, it wasn't me, but it was one of the lads from my unit. We have both the United and City training grounds on our patch, so it's not unusual to come across them now and again.

There was a certain feeling of satisfaction floating around the office though!

Pete.

[Gene genie]

i wonder if he still keeps the babies dummy in his pants, be dead handy if he does it'll give him something to do while hes on the hardshoulder of the m60.

[tanis34]

+1 lol

[Red Herring]

Maybe when he bought it he was still driving on his Argentinian licence, which he can do for the first 12 months. What they have to do if they are going to stay here longer than that is apply for a UK provisional (which is what it sounds like he has done) then pass his test before the 12 months are up (which he obviously hasn't done).

Oh and they won't crush it, he has 14 days to get someone with a full licence to go with him to the pound and then he can drive it away (with L plates on of course). Bet the L plates wouldn't look to cool in the club car park though!!

[Gene genie]

new name, carlost tevez.

[Specialone]

What you done now?

[Nobbylad]

I was just about to ask the same....

He's probably hurt his wrist again ;)

He really needs to learn to use the other hand ;)

[timwilky]

I think they must have nicked tevez again?

Oh yes, this time in morecambe

[Bluepete]

Nope, not that one Tim.

A bit more recent.

He's got a trip to the car impound coming up again...

[Richie]

Speeding (http://www.thevisitor.co.uk/news/morecambe-and-district-news/carlos-tevez-car-caught-speeding-in-morecambe-1-5105320)... on his way to John McGuinness Pad :0)

[timwilky]

Are you gloating this time pete?

[Nobbylad]

Ritchie - that's the same story as Tim's.

What's he done this time Pete?

[Bluepete]

He did this...

Again...

Pete ;)

[maviczap]

He's not the sharpest tool is he :p

[Bluepete]

I don't think he's that bothered. Somehow, I feel he'll be able to pay the fine...

Pete ;)

[yorkie_chris]

It's a shame you can't do some proper alabama style policing when there's f***ing argies involved...

[Owenski]

That'll explain his celebration this weekend then.
Bit of a ***** way of celebrating mind, joe public would be in ruins pulling such crap. This doesn't exactly bring him closer to the fans he so significantly alienated not so long ago...
Saying that they're Manchester so driving bans amongst the fans are probably more common than licences

[Nobbylad]

Apart from the lazy stereoytping, you're probably right.

[Owenski]

I'm Yorkshire, our laziness is our fuel lol

[punyXpress]

T3v3z arrested for driving whilst disqualified?

[andrewsmith]

Yep http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-21716343

What a ****ing doormat! Ain't it imprisonable for 3 offences?
Pete please say it was you without an ANPR ;)

[Ceri JC]

haha, like that. Do you think he put a Janspeed Performance exhaust and spinners on it

I'll wager that is was probably dripping in tawdry Mansory tat, if it was a footballer's Bentley.

Part of me hopes that there can't be a real demand for this sort of stuff and that the whole company exists to fulfil some sort of ironic post-modern statement that I'm not hip enough to get. Then the realist steps in and points out that vulgar people who lack imagination and have too much money tend to fritter it away of precisely this sort of nonsense.

[Bluepete]

Nope, not me. I've been locking up drug traffickers today!

Pete ;)

[chris8886]

I'm always on traffic!

It's a separate unit under the specialist operations branch.

Pete ;)

[allantheboss]

So glad this chav gets treated like everyone else. He should be given more punishment than an impounded car. He was driving a very powerful car without a license. I bet that if a 17 year-old rich kid was caught driving his dad's Bentley without a license, he'd be in bigger trouble. Not having a license also voids your insurance, doesn't it?

[Biker Biggles]

If a court bans you from driving and you then drive anyway that should be contempt of court.
I think that is more serious than,say,swapping speeding points awarded by a camera.Not how our legal system sees it though.
