Ireland's Worst Driver FINALLY Caught
Publius' Forum ^ | 2/22/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 02/22/2009 5:46:03 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

A Polish immigrant to Ireland has wracked up dozens of parking tickets and driving violations in nearly every county of the country. Police there have been trying to hunt him down for years, but every time they corner him he has left a different home address causing consternation and confusion for Irish police the country over.

Now, Police in Ireland have been looking hard for this Polish nerr-do-well, Mr. Prawo Jazdy, with an intensity that beggers description. And now we have the pleasure to announce that the constabulary of the Emerald Isle at last has found this cunning criminal. Or maybe they didn't exactly find him as simply discover his true identity.

You see, at the top of a Polish driver's ID are the words Permis de Conduire Prawo Jazdy. Irish police discovered that Prawo Jazdy is basically Polish for... well, driver's license. As it happens the name on the "Prawo Jazdy" happens to be several lines down from that heading on a Polish driver's license.

See, Irish police though Prawo Jazdy was the driver's name and were quite confused as to how one man could be caught driving so badly in all the realm?

So, excellent job everyone. Go about your business. Mystery solved , eh? The Irish Policeman always gets his man and all that.

In Ireland, jokes about the Garda are the equivalent of, er, Polish jokes!

So how many “Mr. Prawo Jazdy’s” were they chasing and how do they know they caught the right one?

Reminds me of that guy who wanted his vanity plate to be “NoNumber”. He promptly got hit with thousands of driving and parking violations streching back decades.

Many Poles, and Slavs, have come to Ireland. The Polish gals - black hair and blue eyes - are strikingly beautiful.
