A search for a state’s worst food delivery driver is underway after the man notched up hundreds of demerit points and allegedly stole a motorbike.
An arrest warrant is out for the French national, 23, by NSW Police after the delivery driver racked up a whopping 385 demerit points.
The driver’s bad behaviour also extended to him renting a black Yamaha scooter from City Car King at Alexandria, Sydney on March 21 – and allegedly not returning it, reported The Daily Telegraph.
The Frenchman destroyed the bike’s $400 tracker so he could keep the scooter without being found while working for various food delivery companies.
It was while riding the Yamaha that the Frenchman received hundreds of demerit points, police said.
The rider was convicted of larceny and destroying property in June, but it was handed down without him present after he failed to turn up to court on multiple occasions.
Despite the warrant, the food delivery driver has not been found as he keeps changing addresses.
The motorbike rider always produced his international licence to police when they pulled him over.

Any infringement notice he received was sent to the registered address he used when he first came to Australia at the end of last year.
But he is no longer at this address either.
The Frenchman was due to appear at Downing Centre Local Court this week over the theft of the motorbike, but did not show.
At the man’s Waterloo address, provided on court papers, flatmates told the publication that he was at the police station.
But police said the man did not show up for his required bail.
The man’s shocking driving record was discovered after NSW Police highway patrol officers applied to Transport NSW for his full record due to his continual offending.
Police said they were not in charge of the demerit system and it was Transport NSW’s responsibility, which also maintains point tallies.

A Transport for NSW spokesman said it was ‘actively managing the case’ with both the police and Revenue NSW.
Astonishingly, the bike theft is not the only one the Sydney business has had to deal with.
A staff member said they didn’t remember the Frenchman renting the scooter because they ‘have about 50 of these cases where people steal bikes’.
‘They come in here, some people don’t even try and rent, they just steal a bike and go … we give all the information to police,’ the staff member said.
