What Was That?
Police won’t name a driver in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, who came to their attention, but they did describe him as “a little bit stupid.” The man thought someone was trying to “annoy” him by flashing a light at him when he drove through the town during the night, police say. He turned around at the next roundabout and came back, and was flashed again. And again. And again. After four passes to see “what was going on” he apparently figured it out: it was a speed camera, and he set it off four times over the course of a few minutes for speeding in a 50 kph zone. Police confirm they will issue all four speeding citations — plus an extra for failure to wear his seatbelt. A police spokesman said the officers found the case “maybe a little amusing.” (London Telegraph) ...In other news, Swiss police were found to have cracked a smile for the first time in 40 years.
