Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit later tweeted: “A38. Runs out of fuel then decides to unload his mobility scooter & ride off to get some. His driving licence is revoked by DVLA.”

Officers also revealed via Twitter that the driver should not have been on the roads ‘in the first place’ because his licence had been revoked ‘prior to this incident’.
