Apparently someone in Germany is driving a British Audi (drivers side on the right) and seemingly taunting police by speeding past cameras with Animal, the Muppet riding shotgun. Since the cameras in Germany are looking for the drivers side being on the left, they get a nice picture of the Muppet and not the person driving the car!
Talk about awesome.
A German police source said: “The number plate is not enough. We need clear evidence of who is driving the vehicle too.”
“But because this is a British vehicle we can never get a decent picture. The driver has obviously worked this out because he has placed a large puppet in the passenger seat.”
“This may be an example of the famous British sense of humour but it is still dangerous driving. The driver has been caught on camera on several occasions and the puppet is on the passenger seat every time. We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.”
