link 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.
The Irish: always willing to work hard in order to confirm an Englishman's prejudices. Bless them. |

A friend used to use the name "No Target" in a VR mech combat simulator. (The old VirtualWorlds BTech pods from the mid 90's – fun if disorienting) |
