Speed traps are everywhere in Europe and travelers shall be reminded of it by this event:
"A radar image of a speed offender caught in central Switzerland last month has revealed that the culprit was not only a duck but probably a repeat offender, local authorities have said. ... The duck was caught going 52km/h (32mph) in a 30-km/h zone, the post said."
So, dear all travelers, drive carefully in Europe.
Full Guardian article.
Love it!
I bet the duck was migrating and really a tourist…
The Duck was probably in a hurry to outfly a hunter.
It’s hard for Daffy Duck.
So where did they send the citation?
I hope this didn’t result in a quack up.
Slate !!!
Thanks for this Mark ! I hadn't looked at this post figuring it was another dull speeding ticket post. But this made me laugh !
All the ducks I know have no respect for the rule of law. They are trouble. That’s why my dogs bark at them, They are bad news.
And Slate for the win! Made me laugh out loud.
So if you are mailed a citation, you need to carefully check the photo for ducks!
Those ducks! Speeding isn't their only traffic infraction. How many times have I seen traffic stopped while ducks (and geese too) cross a road against the light and NOT in a crosswalk?
In Hamburg happened somehow the opposite:
"A S-Bahn line had to be closed for almost two hours on Monday evening because of a family of ducks on the S-Bahn tracks in Hamburg-Altona.". The alarmed federal police caught the 10 chicks and carried them in a cage slowly out into nature - the duck parents were following.
Cute video, may be geo-fenced.
Very cute video.
