Driver with suspended licence joins remote hearing while driving - BBC News

Love this video.

You can just see the realisation on the judge's face and the attorney's face. It's a remote hearing and he is taking a call on his phone. To the judge. Whilst having a suspended licence!!

Defendant and judge

Driver with suspended licence joins remote hearing while driving

The judge was surprised when a defendant charged with driving on a suspended licence appeared behind the wheel.

Oh wow!

Thanks OP!

I needed a laugh this morning!

That was brilliant.

Wonderful!

Glorious. Kudos to the judge.

Another level of stupid. Thee Court appearance was even for driving without a license.

It’s the shock on the face of the accused. Looks totally bewildered… what did he expect? Did he understand that he didn’t have a license? Sounds like the hearing was for a similar offence; driving without a license so he did it again? And then looked totally shocked when his bail was revoked. Is the guy just an idiot? His poor lawyer 😂

I thought this was going to be about Katie Price for a minute!

Oh my word that is brilliant!

In the late 1990s there used to be a TV show called America's Dumbest Criminals.

It's a shame it's no longer running because it seems that they're not running out of candidates for the show.

Loving the fact that it clearly simply didn't occur to him that phoning in to court while driving might not be a good idea. The sheer shock on his face on realising what is going on is a treat.

I shouldn't mock the already afflicted, but all I could think of was how much he resembled a very stupid thumb...

Waitingfordoggo · 31/05/2024 11:00

That’s hilarious 😆 What a ridiculous man. I hope he learns from this but I’m doubtful.

Fair play to the attorney though who got there juuuuuuust before the judge: respectfully requesting an adjournment made me giggle...

CrushingOnRubies · 31/05/2024 11:41

That is marvellous

BoobyDazzler · 31/05/2024 11:43

I saw this yesterday. The way the guys jaw dropped when he realised what he’d done 🤣🤣🤣 what an idiot!

Rainbowshit · 31/05/2024 11:53

There are no words. 🙈
