Daaaamnn. From BBC:

Police in Brazil have finally caught up with a serial speeder who owed $1.9m (£1m) in traffic fines.

Sao Paolo police who pulled over Armando Clemente da Silva were shocked to discover he had clocked up nearly 1,000 violations, local media report.

Mr da Silva had accumulated the fines for speeding and running red lights over a seven-year period.

The driver, 36, said he had not received any penalty tickets because he had been too busy to register his car.
