Driver caught with provisional licence that expired 41 years ago
Police seized a vehicle after discovering the driver had been using a provisional licence that expired decades ago, while conducting safety checks in Nelson and Blackburn. During the checks, 12 motorists were given tickets for not wearing seat belts. One was given a ticket for having illegally tinted windows, allowing only 28 per cent of light through. Legally, the front windscreen must let at least 75 per cent of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70 per cent of light through. The driver was adamant they were legal but a police device, that checks window tint levels, said otherwise. One vehicle was also seized due to the driver having an expired provisional licence. It expired more than 41 years ago. A police spokesperson said: 'Sergeant Dave, Rob and myself conducted a couple road safety checkpoints in Nelson then Blackburn. '12 motorists were given tickets for not wearing seat belts. 'One was given a ticket for illegally tinted windows, allowing only 28 per cent of light through.

Antisemitic shrink blasted for her nasty tirade at Jewish woman: ‘Germans should have ended your kind'
A Long Island therapist has vanished from social media after allegedly ranting online to a Jewish woman that 'the Germans should have ended your kind' in a shocking outburst over the Israel-Hamas war. The backlash has also seen Elmont social worker Gineth Nelson scrubbed from Psychology Today's therapist listings after the vile antisemitic tirade was exposed. Efforts were said to be underway to have her removed from ZocDoc as well as other sites, and there is a letter-writing campaign calling on New York State to pull her license to practice. Advertisement Her toxic post to Instagram was made July 7, in response to a meme the victim shared, calling for the return of the dead hostages Hamas refuses to release. 4 Gineth Nelson has been a therapist on Long Island the last nine years. Obtained by the New York Post 4 She has been blasted online for the above online exchange. Obtained by the New York Post Advertisement 'Hamas is still holding the bodies of 28 murdered hostages,' started the meme. 'These are not just numbers, they are human beings, stolen from their families even in death. Only monsters withhold the dead. This cruelty must end. Their bodies must be returned home for a dignified burial, as every person deserves.' The victim's identity has been blurred in screenshots of the threatening, now-deleted exchange. 'And how many humans have your people killed,' Nelson asked in response. 'I'm sure its more than 28. Germans should've ended your kind. Anyone who could agree with this are the true monsters.' 'Language like this is appalling, no matter who says it, and must be unequivocally condemned,' said Eric Post, the Long Island director for the American Jewish Committee. Advertisement 'At a time when Jews in this country face unprecedented levels of antisemitism, incidents like these show we all have to take a zero-tolerance approach toward anti-Jewish hatred,' Post continued. Nelson, who is also licensed in New York City, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, could not be reached for comment. 4 Nelson's assistant told The Post her account was hacked. Obtained by the New York Post 4 Nelson has dismantled her social media pages. Obtained by the New York Post Advertisement She runs Whole Health Counseling in Elmont, and specializes in addiction, depression and anxiety treatment employing cognitive behavioral therapy, a common type of talk therapy. A woman claiming to be her assistant told The Post Thursday Nelson's social media accounts had been hacked, but offered no proof of such a breach.

Instagram account StopAntisemitism is also urging her clients to seek therapy and housing elsewhere. 'Antisemitism has infected the therapy world at alarming rates,' offered Physicians Against Antisemitism in an Instagram post, shaming Nelson for her comment. 'This is a reminder once again to vet your medical professionals.'
