Stoner Whips Out Legoland License After Police Chase
Officers in the UK had a good laugh when a traffic stop led to an arrest for reckless driving after the driver produced a license from Legoland.
“The driver was pursued from #Bexley to #IsleOfSheppey and arrested for a multitude of offenses last week,” according to a tweet by the Kent Police RPU, which apprehended the 21-year-old motorist following the wild chase.
Officers attempted to pull over an Audi A7 they had observed driving recklessly. The driver refused to stop, resulting in a 35-mile chase. They even called for a police helicopter to aid with the pursuit.
Officers finally caught up with the crazy driver after he ran out of gas, whereupon they discovered a large amount of marijuana in his car.
But that was just the beginning.
When the officers asked the driver for his documentation, he proudly whipped out a fake license he’d received from a Legoland in Windsor as a kid in 2003.
The “license” is given to children who pass the theme park’s driving test, where drivers use a brick-built electric car to navigate “traffic lights, roundabouts, Lego policemen and even a speed camera,” per the site.
The cops joked in the tweet that “the #LegoLand license was not the reason for the drivers dangerous driving, the large amount of cannabis was.” Not only was the driver lacking a valid driver’s license, but he was lacking insurance as well.
The lawbreaker was subsequently “arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop, possession of a class B drug, driving with no insurance and driving with no [license,]” per a police spokesperson.
The driver has reportedly been released on bail.
