German police nab driver over impossible date on license

BERLIN – A driver caught speeding in western Germany got himself into even deeper water when police found his license contained an impossible date.

Police said Thursday they pulled over the 56-year-old man driver during speed checks in Dortmund, whereupon he showed officers a Polish license containing the date Aug. 32, 2017.

In a statement, police said that “because this date didn’t exist in the Polish calendar either, officers did a bit more research.” They found the car he was driving had been decommissioned months ago.

Police seized the car and the “cleverly forged driving license.” The man now faces prosecution for suspected forgery.
