The Staffordshire Police Roads Policing Unit team was in action across the county on Monday.
Officer pulled over a red Citroen in the Stafford area and after checks were made, the driver was found to have no licence and, additionally, had changed cars in an attempt to avoid being detected.
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police Roads Policing Unit said on social media: "The driver of this car in the Stafford area had a car seized from him recently for having no licence.
"He thought by changing his vehicle, he would fly under our radar and get away with it again.
"Fortunately for us, not him, this is not our first rodeo."
