A wishful thinker is one who naively believes, what he/she wants an outcome to be, rather than dealing with the alternate reality of what the outcome probably in reality will be. Wishful thinkers are very sweet, but get into trouble with this way of assessing situations. Often very unrealistic, in a silly way. Pollyanna, optimistic. What they want to be true blinds them to reality.
I am sure the police will just give me a warning for my out of date inspection sticker.

I did not read any of the material for the test, and did not prepare at all, but I am sure I will get a good grade.

He is a wishful thinker.
