Guy Shocked After Getting A Speeding Ticket By Mail With A Picture Of His Dog On The Wheel
Every year 42 million speeding tickets are issued in the United States alone. That is 36 percent of drivers, "assuming one speeding ticket per driver."
A German motorist was recently shocked and confused after receiving a speeding ticket by mail with a perplexing picture on it. In the documents that were provided to him in the letter was a picture showing his vehicle exceeding the posted limit, but the strange part about all of this is the fact that a small white dog was the one on the wheel, driving the car recklessly, and with no one in the passenger seat.
The small white dog appeared to be driving the vehicle, which raises a lot of questions and confusion because it is definitely not something you see every single day. The "car thief" pup ended up belonging to a Twitter user’s uncle, who was as confused as anyone to see his dog in this speeding ticket, breaking the law.
The photo clearly shows a dog driving a car, and since the traffic cameras caught him, then he must have been speeding too on top of everything. Did this small white dog somehow manage to take the car on an illegal joyride without his owner ever finding out?
Well, the reality of things is a little bit different from all these theories (and definitely not as fun). It's still a worthwhile giggle, though.
“My first reaction was: ‘That can’t be real,’” the nephew told The Dodo. “I think my uncle was just as surprised.”
Surely at this moment, we're all on the same page and are thinking: Dogs don't know how to drive, so how did this happen?
Turns out, it was the uncle who was driving the car that day, and his dog was in the passenger seat.
Allegedly, the pup jumped on the uncle's lap at the exact moment the traffic camera took that shot. Talk about mind-blowing timing, right?
Those few seconds were long enough to turn him into the prime suspect. The uncle ended up handling that fine despite the fact that he could've contested the ticket for lack of proof that he was the one behind the wheel.
“He paid it,” the nephew said. “But I can’t tell you what the authorities thought.”They must have been so confused the moment they opened that letter.
That picture was taken from an angle that makes it seem like the dog was actually behind the wheel. It certainly would make anyone question reality for a second.
The uncle will probably keep that fine forever, it's hilarious and you could trick people into thinking that your dog actually did go on an illegal joyride. It wouldn't be the first time a joyride occurred under unusual circumstances, right?
