A traffic camera in Dortmund, Germany, captured the moment a speeding driver dressed in a Cookie Monster costume barreled down a highway going 60 mph.
The police are now on the hunt for the Sesame Street-loving prankster, who the cops say deliberately sped past the camera, hoping it would take a picture of them wearing the outfit.
He was going down the highway at 60 mph? There's highways in Germany where the speed limit is below 60?
A lot, actually. Only about 60% of the Autobahn have no speed limit. And that's not counting construction sites (where this probably was)
Yes, it happened in a section with 80 km/h (50 mph) limit due to ongoing construction works. Usually there the limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) as it is known to be an accident blackspot before a junction.
60mph is the lowest highway limit in my area in the Midwest
