A driver from Terrington handed police a driving licence stating he was Del Boy Trotter from BBC comedy Only Fools and Horses.
Police found the driver had no insurance after pulling the car over on the A47 yesterday.
The only licence the driver had was in the name of Del Trotter.
It stated the Renault Megane motorist was only qualified to drive a three-wheeler.
Officers reported the driver to court and also seized the car.
Norfolk and Suffolk police dog unit officers stopped the car and tweeted about the incident, throwing in a couple of puns made famous by the loveable rogue on the show.
They posted: “#BonnetDeDouche everybody, not even this #Plonkers fake driving licence could stop their car being seized. Driver reported No DL & No Ins #A47 Terrington. #PotPourri #68”
The BBC reported that police said the licence had ‘not been intended to fool them into believing the motorist was Del Trotter’, and that the incident ‘made them laugh’.
