Traffic police in Belgium have taken so much money in fines that they are running out of ways to spend it.
The money is supposed to be spent on road safety projects. If that is not done, the cash goes to the government.
One force spent some of the money on lottery tickets for drivers who obeyed traffic rules.
This year the police have collected 100m euros (£67m) in fines, more than twice the amount raised six years ago.
One station bought motorcycles, even though none of the officers there knew how to ride them.
The motorcycles are now lying unused in a basement.
