Driver Dressed Like Cookie Monster Seen Speeding on Camera in Germany
Cookie Monster needs to put the desserts down and pick up a driver's handbook ... 'cause a person dressed like the famous Muppet was caught speeding on camera in Germany.
Photos taken in the city of Dortmund by a roadside camera captured a person -- blue suit on and big googly eyes focused dead ahead on the road.
The sweet-toothed monster was reportedly going 60 mph in a 50 mph zone ... so, not the most egregious offense we've ever heard -- but, Elmo probably wouldn't be too happy about the recklessness.
On a more serious note, cops say wearing a big costume like this can obscure a person's vision ... and, they're saying Cookie Monster's lucky not to have ended up in the hospital.
CM faces a ?40 (that's euros) fine if he's ever caught ... so, he'd better lie low on Sesame Street for a while -- maybe hide in Oscar the Grouch's trashcan!
The car's reportedly registered to a 57-year-old man in the nearby town of Hagen ... but, hard to tell who was driving the vehicle, given the disguise, late last month.
