German authorities were understandably unamused when a traffic camera snapped a photo of a driver speeding down a highway while wearing a Cookie Monster mask. The mischievous motorist was reportedly spotted on September 20th near the city of Dortmund. Sharing the picture of the misguided prankster on social media, the community's police department indicated that the driver was detected going around seven miles per hour over the speed limit, which is punishable by a fine of around $40. Theorizing that the 'monstrous motorist' may have purposely sped up so that their hijinks were memorialized by the traffic camera, annoyed authorities stressed that the stunt was no laughing matter.
