Unbelievable! Dog driving a car in Slovakia

The owner was fined

Newsroom October 2 06:12

Unbelievable and yet true! A Slovakian man was fined after a traffic camera recorded his dog sitting behind the wheel and driving over the speed limit in the village of Šterusy in western Slovakia.

Slovak police shared the incredible news on social media making black humour of the unscrupulous and irresponsible driver of the vehicle.

“Mr. dog you exceeded the speed limit in the village. Please provide your supporting documents,” the Facebook post read.

“Please, I don’t have…” barked the dog. Well, you’ll pay extra for that. Do you have anything, please? “I have no…” the police’s fake conversation added.

The dog was 10 kilometers per hour over the speed limit, according to Business Insider.

The post said the officers couldn’t believe their eyes when the photo appeared on police radar showing the dog with no human in sight.

“Instead of the driver’s photo, a brown hunting dog smiled beautifully at the camera, sitting obediently behind the wheel of a Škoda and peering through the windshield at the promising young deer,” the post continues.

The 31-year-old driver claimed the dog had jumped into his lap while driving, but police could not see any sudden movement inside the car when they examined the footage.

He was immediately fined by officers for a traffic violation.

Police concluded their post by instructing drivers to take safety and caution measures when carrying their pets, adding that any size animal can cause safety issues.

“Even a small animal can endanger your life and health while driving.”
