The man was taken into custody on the suspicion of driving the white Mitsubishi without the permission of the owner at the test location on Birdbrook Road, Great Barr. The police officials then said that the suspect had failed his driving test for the 10th time.

The tweet prompted a few reactions from users on Twitter.
One user talked about what will happen to the man after his arrest. To which the Force Response replied that we would probably be banned from driving.
He will be charged then sent to court. The court will then determine the sentence. Almost certainly a ban which will come into effect on the day of conviction. People can be banned without holding a licence. But yes he could legally sit and pass his test before his court date

Another user posted a tweet that questioned as to who turned the man in.
I know this isn't relevant but who reported him to the police? Was it his examiner? What would have happened if he had passed? Would he get done for driving without a license for making his way to the centre?

Car is stolen by a man from a carwash pretending to be its owner
In a separate incident, a thief in Enfield, London, had been caught on camera for stealing a car for a second time by pretending to be the owner from a carwash. The CCTV footage shows that the thief is getting inside of a BMW and then driving it away, nearly knocking down a man. The CCTV footage shows that the man attempting to steal the car closed the door of the car just as someone was walking towards the car. He then places his hand in the bonnet of the car as the worker tries to open the locked door. In order to not act suspicious, the thief pretended to be on the phone before stealing the car. According to reports, the man was witnessed stealing another car in Ilford and driving it away.
A few people on social media platforms were of the opinion that leaving one's keys in the ignition is a very easy way for a thief to steal someone else's car and a few people stated that keyless cars are the easiest to steal as you just need the door unlocked and then press a button to start the car and drive away with it.
