Three police officers who seized a Bentley Continental from an uninsured driver took it for an unauthorised drive up and down a dual carriage way before impounding it.
Hertfordshire PCs Lewis Mack, Sam Butler and Ian Gould jumped into the Bentley when it was decided it had to be taken back to the police station because the driver did not have insurance.
But after setting off they went on a detour, driving up and down a dual carriage way and taking it in turns to get behind the steering wheel.
Unknown to the trio Bentley Continental GT V8 had a tracker fitted to it and its owner - who was not the man driving it that night - had an app on his phone allowing him to follow its journey.
