The officers responsible for reviewing the images captured by fixed cameras couldn’t believe their eyes: a pigeon was caught by a radar speeding at 40 km/h, which is 10 km/h over the speed limit for that area.
The egregious violation took place in the morning in a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the speed limit on the street is 30 km/h, but the animal was flying faster than the maximum allowed speed, according to the very serious police statement.It also states that “the ‘feathered offender’ should actually pay a fine of 30 euros.”
Good sports and unable to ascertain the exact identity of the pigeon, the police have, however, decided to waive the execution of the penalty.
This naughty speeder is not the first of its species, though. Check out his predecessors’ offences below!
