A man who was already banned from driving until 2086 has been caught driving while disqualified for the 27th time.
Jason Blackley was caught driving his white Holden Commodore while he looked for petrol in Haywards Bay, south of Wollongong, NSW.
At the time of his arrest he had served less than 30 days of a previous eight-month suspended prison sentence for driving while disqualified.
A police statement reported that Mr Blackley pulled into the Coles Express service station just after midnight and filled his vehicle with $17.20 worth of premium fuel.

He left his declined debit card with the operator in lieu of payment. As CCTV revealed, Mr Blackley was wearing a high visibility orange shirt at the time and was clearly visible on the footage.
He was arrested at his home in Koonawarra two days later.
Documents tendered to Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday reveal Mr Blakley was handed an eight-month suspended prison sentence for his 26th charge of driving while disqualified.
This previous offence occurred in February this year, when police spotted Blackley’s red Holden Commodore speeding between 90 and 100km/h on Calderwood Road in Galston.
At the time, arresting officers said in court papers that Blackley ‘has total disregard for the traffic laws of NSW and continues to commit traffic offences’.
After the latest offence early this month, Mr Blackley was charged with driving while disqualified and refused police bail.
Already banned from applying for a licence until 2086, Mr Blakley is expected to have more years added to his time off the road when he is sentenced early next year.

During an initial court appearance, the serial law breaker announced he would fight the allegations against him.
He denied he was the driver that night, but pleaded guilty to the charge in court on Tuesday.
Legal Aid lawyer Tim McKenzie told Magistrate Susan McGowan he would seek to have a psychiatrist prepare a report ahead of Mr Blackley’s sentencing.
Magistrate McGown also ordered a pre-sentence report from Community Corrections.
The case will return to court for finalisation on February 6. Blackley remains behind bars after his bail was refused.
