Man lost all driving licence points 5 years ago but continued working as a truck driver: authorities discovered it this way

A 52-year-old truck driver was intercepted by the Guardia Civil in Gran Canaria driving a heavy articulated vehicle, despite his driving licence having expired five years ago due to total point depletion. Analysis of the tachograph revealed that the man had been driving repeatedly in the two previous months. The proceedings were referred to the Juzgado de Guardia de Las Palmas, where the driver's possible criminal liability will be determined, as he may face three to six months in prison, a fine, or community service. The article also compares the legal framework in Portugal, where driving with a licence cancelled due to point loss generates conflicting jurisprudence between the crime of driving without legal qualification and a minor offence, an issue awaiting resolution by the Supreme Court of Justice.
