Polish joke

Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged . . .

He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines. . .

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. . .

"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.
