Police were called to reports of dangerous driving in Bondeno, northern Italy, in the early hours of the morning

" “I will buy myself a Vespa,” Molinari told local newspaper La Nuova Ferrara.

In the meantime, she plans to visit friends by bicycle instead."

The key to driving with an expired, invalid or non-existent license is surely to not get stopped in the first place.

In 50 years of driving I have only interacted with the police twice. But for those two surely avoidable incidents, it would not have mattered if I had never held a full license, which of course I did.

She was unlucky.
