A person dressed up as Cookie Monster has been caught speeding at 60mph.
The biscuit-loving blue Muppet was away from his usual home on the popular children's show Sesame Street and was instead spotted zooming along a German highway.
In the bizarre picture - taken by a mobile roadside unit in Dortmund, western Germany - a driver can be seen speeding at 60mph in a 50 zone while dressed as Cookie Monster.
If the Muppet is ever caught, he will face a fine of €40.

German police believe the offence was so brazen that the Audi driver deliberately got snapped on September 20 wearing the costume for a prank.
But police thought the stunt was in poor taste.
Police spokesman Peter Bandermann said: 'The fun of wearing a mask from the Muppet Show can quickly turn serious.
'It won't help the relatives of a person who has been killed if the person who did it tearfully regrets their mask fun in court.'
