But not 20-year-old Alfred John Saban, of Aroo Street, Bathurst.
Saban drove a red Holden Commodore after his licence was suspended on April 20, three times in the space of a few weeks.
Magistrate Gail Madgwick in Bathurst Local Court convicted Saban giving him a suspended nine months' concurrent gaol sentence.
Ms Madgwick disqualified Saban from driving until November 19, 2005, stopping short of declaring him a habitual offender.
She ordered him to undergo Probation and Parole Services counselling and attend courses for anger management and family matters.
So well-known was Saban that two Bathurst police attending inservice training in Sydney on July 20, observed him driving his red Commodore in one of three lines of traffic on Parramatta Road, Ashfield.
