Sergeant Ian Smith, of Cheshire Constabulary's Roads and Crime Unit, said: "Tuckman knew he had been disqualified from driving yet still drove to court on the day he was due to be banned and brazenly got back into it to drive home.

"He clearly thought that his chances of being stopped by an officer were low and that he would get away with it.

"This should serve as a warning to other motorists who believe that they can get behind the wheel of a vehicle while disqualified.

"Not only is it against the law but officers can be anywhere, at any time meaning you are likely to also be caught."
