Man with 100-year ban found driving

A MAN banned from driving for 100 years has been caught behind the wheel of a car on a Melbourne freeway.

Police say they were “a bit taken back” when they stopped the 24-year-old Pascoe Vale man on the Westgate Freeway at Altona on Thursday and discovered he was subject to a century-long driving ban.

A court date was arranged for the man, while his car — complete with a ‘F... The Police’ sticker on the windshield — was impounded.

“Most times an administrative disqualification or suspension period (is) for non- compliance issues, such as fail to pay fines, undertake road safety courses,” police posted on Facebook yesterday.

“Usually once the person has complied, they are re-instated.” The man will need to pay $1006 to get his car back — not that he’ll be driving it any time this century. AAP
