Vit Barta

Vit Barta, transport minister of the Czech Republic, has lost his driving privilege for six months, and was fined 5,000 koruna ($283) after he was found driving a car with phony license plates.

Barta was found driving his Maserati home from his wedding in July, and had lost his license plate while driving along a rugged dirt road. He used a phony one to replace it, which is illegal in the Czech Republic.
