Driver Stopped at Checkpoint Surprised the Police by Revealing That He Has Been Driving Without a License Since 1997, Without Insurance and Without Vehicle Inspection.
During a traffic checkpoint in the Rhône region of France, police discovered an extreme case of disregard for traffic laws. When checking the driver’s documents, the officers found that he was driving without insurance and without a valid driver’s license.
According to the driver himself, his license had been revoked in 1997, after being caught driving under the influence of alcohol. Since then, he has never regularized his situation.
Surprisingly, the man compared his situation to that of an expired yogurt that can still be consumed. To him, it made no sense to renew his license or maintain insurance or technical inspections on the car.

Ironic Post from the Police
The police shared the case on their official Facebook page. The post describes the moment when the team confirmed the absence of insurance and ultimately discovered the date of the license revocation: 1997.
The post treated the episode with irony, calling it the “highlight of the show”
Despite the humorous tone of the police approach, the man will not escape the legal consequences. He will have to appear in court to respond to the infractions.
How the driver managed to drive for nearly three decades without being stopped by the authorities. Now, in addition to fines and legal actions, he receives a “symbolic medal” from the police — an ironic gesture for an infraction that lasted over 28 years.
