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.
Bottom line … Cookie Monster may have been late for a hang with his Sesame Street pals — but, he’d better be careful, or he might end up having to fork up some (cookie) dough.
