There's a Garda in Ireland who's trying to clean up a terrible misunderstanding.
The police computer listed fifty offences by a man they could never find and arrest...Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged, the Irish Times reports. He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines. However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address.
But then his cover was blown. It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn't exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award. In fact he wasn't even human. "Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," read a letter from June 2007 from an officer working within the Garda's traffic division.

Ah yes, that would be your man. Tricky customer he was, Mr Driving Licence! Still, it only took them 3 months to find him, so it wasn't that bad really! :yh_rotfl
