Police say they have arrested a Sydney man who claims he has been driving without a licence for more than 50 years.

The 67-year-old from Wallacia was pulled over after he allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign at Luddenham in Sydney's west on Monday.

He told police he had never held a licence in all the time he had been driving.

He will appear in court next month charged with not stopping at a stop sign and never holding a driver's licence.
