A teenage boy was caught speeding at 102mph on a dual carriageway, just four hours after he passed his driving test.
He was stopped by the Norfolk Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team (NSRAPT) at 2 pm on August 2, while driving on the A47 at Swaffham.
A traffic offence report was then issued by police for excessive speeding.
NSRAPT shared a photo of their speed meter reading on Twitter, showing the 102mph printout after stopping the teenager.
They reported that a driver was stopped at 2 pm (2 August) during speed checks conducted by PC Writer on the A47 in Swaffham.
It was reported that he was clocked doing 102mph, having only passed his driving test four hours earlier.
Responding to the post, one person commented on Twitter that it must be the fastest driving licence removed ever.
Another wrote that the driver didn't lose any time with his newfound freedumb.
A third said, that's it, pass your test and then think you're the best driver in the world.
Someone else commented: 'That speed for a new learner was insane, insane for anyone.
According to DVLA rules, new drivers are subject to a probationary period of two years from the date they pass their test, meaning they will forfeit their licence if they gain six or more points in that time.
This guy's probably done us all a big favour, at least now he won't be on our roads for a while.
Just because one has passed their driving test, they still have a lot of learning to do. Passing your driving test is just the basics.
When a person learns to drive, the driving instructor is there to teach them to pass their test. You actually learn to drive properly after you pass your test.
The problem is that idiots like this come from the video game world, but in real life, there's no game reset, and now for this lad his licence ended faster than it began. The roads are dangerous enough at the best of times without having idiots who are still wet behind the ears using it as a playground.
