Driver avoided ticket after horse caught on speed camera

A horse caught on a speed camera in central Germany has helped a speeding driver avoid a ticket.

The horse was snapped by the speed camera in Eppstein, Hesse, and looked puzzled at the flashing camera as it passed by.



An initial look at the image by the town clerk suggested the horse was travelling at 59 km/h when caught at the end of May.

But the camera was in fact flashing a car behind the animal. The car’s driver escaped without a fine as the horse was blocking their number plate.
