French Driver Outsmarts Police for 28 Years Without License or Insurance

French driver with a revoked license since 1997 eludes police for nearly three decades, finally caught in Rhone after a routine stop. The man, comparing his old license to expired yogurt, boasts no insurance and multiple missed inspections—leaving officers incredulous.
No one suspected a revoked license would become a French road legend until last week, when Tarare police unearthed his record-breaking lapse. With “technical inspection expired” as the tip-off, this odd traffic violation story highlights the weird world of uninsured driving—and police surprise.
