Zweibrücken (dpa) - After numerous trips without a valid driver's license, a man with 373 points in the Flensburg traffic offenders file has to go to prison in Rhineland-Palatinate for nine months.
The Frankenthal district court in the Palatinate had sentenced the man to the prison sentence in August 2020 - the accused went on appeal.
The higher regional court in Zweibrücken dismissed this as unfounded, said a justice spokeswoman for the German press agency.
The judgment from Frankenthal is now final.
During the trial, two trips were negotiated in August in which the late 30s was caught with an invalid Italian driver's license in 2019.
According to the police, the accused had already collected 373 points beforehand.
The number is made up of more than 150 trips without a valid driver's license that the man had made as a professional driver.
The authorities checked the speedometer dials afterwards and imposed two points per trip.

For the man, the judgment that became final in December has far-reaching consequences.
Not only does he have to go to jail, he faces further imprisonment.
He had previously been sentenced to an eight-month suspended sentence for driving without a valid driver's license.
The Frankenthal public prosecutor's office announced a few days ago that it would apply for revocation of probation.
During the negotiation, the man had spoken of "big mistakes" that he had made.
However, according to a translator, he argued that the police did not object to his driver's license at several traffic controls.
