Hund, however, was not entitled to drive - he had been disqualified from driving until April 22, 2065, by courts in Wagga, Albury and Condobolin for scores of traffic offences stretching back to when he first obtained a licence in 1998.

Police stopped the 30-year-old labourer, of Raye Street, Tolland, in Bourke Street for a random breath test about 12.25pm on Monday.

When police asked him to produce his licence, Hund said he had left it at home and then gave the fake name of Kent Michael David Waters.

But another person in the car, when asked by police, revealed Hund's true identity.

Police then checked Hund's traffic record and found he had another 55 years to serve on disqualifications imposed in the past for offences of driving while disqualified, stating false name and address and drink-driving.

He was arrested and kept in custody overnight until he faced court yesterday morning.

In Parkes Local Court in 2004, a magistrate invoked three habitual traffic offender declarations against Hund, each one attracting a five-year ban and effectively extending previous disqualifications from 2050 to 2065.

Other declarations had been invoked before then by magistrates in Wagga and Albury over the years. Hund has also gone to jail before for driving while disqualified.

Duty solicitor at Wagga Local Court yesterday, PC Reddy, applied for bail for Hund after lodging guilty pleas to driving while disqualified and stating a false name and address.

Mr Reddy said Hund knew he was going to jail again but asked to be given bail until he was sentenced so he could get his family's affairs in order.

"He is not a complete fool, he knows what is facing him," Mr Reddy said.

Mr Reddy said Hund had a pretty bad traffic record which did him no favours, but his last conviction for driving while disqualified was six years ago.
