An 84-year-old Dutch driver astonished police this week when he admitted during a random check that not only was his car uninsured but he had been driving without a licence for 67 years.
Dutch media said the man had escaped detection because he had never got a speeding ticket or been involved in a crash.
The Netherlands has an elaborate system of traffic cameras that can track offenders.
One Irish man received a €71.50 fine when re-entering Holland through passport control last month - for a speeding ticket captured in October 2006.
