Safety belt could have prevent dinosaurs from extinction. Please, wear a safety belt.
It would be amusing to see the police argue in court that a green plush dinosaur counts as “other human facsimile” Given its size, strapping it into the front seat seems like a perfectly reasonable way to transport it.
I’d like to see them argue that it’s clearly a dinosaur facsimile.
An actual dinosaur, in contrast, goes anywhere it damn well pleases
Better to
I was there, the Dino’s drove like people from Los Angeles, that’s how they died out, nobody listens to me.
The story I liked was the driver who evaded speeding tickets by driving a British Audi on German roads, and his co-pilot on the left was the one who had his picture taken by the speeder camera:
I’m no expert, but I don’t think that “pet” dinosaur is real.
I was certain when saw this thread that the driver used a chicken, but no.
The amazing part was that the driver managed to break the speed limit in a foot-powered vehicle.
What the hell is Fred Flintstone doing driving a British car???
That will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the day…
They didn’t have any electrical system to fail, so…
You gotta remember back when we had the Pangea supercontinent you could still drive straight from London to Detroit.
Hard on the feet tho.
Do they let you have lawyers in traffic court? Dinosaur Facsimile might get him out of the extra fine.
Your Honor. Clearly my client did not intend the large green stuffed animal to be a human facsimile. JUST LOOK AT IT!
Sorry, but that defense only works for giant stuffed bananas.
