Cookie Monster Costume Driver Caught Speeding

A person dressed as Cookie Monster was caught speeding in Dortmund, Germany, by a traffic camera on September 20, registering 10 mph over the speed limit in a 50 mph zone. The incident has sparked a search by local police, who have expressed serious concerns about the potential danger of such stunts, especially given impaired visibility from wearing a costume. The car is registered to a 57-year-old man from Hagen, but the identity of the driver remains unknown. If caught, the driver faces a fine of 40 euros, and potentially an additional fine for wearing a mask while driving. Authorities suspect the stunt was done deliberately for a laugh, but have emphasized the risks and potential tragic consequences of such actions. Police spokesperson Peter Bandermann has underscored that such antics could result in serious accidents, highlighting the importance of road safety.
