Man Caught Speeding -- In a Wheelchair

Posted Dec 7th 2007 9:51AM by Evan Shamoon

 

With his mind apparently grasping onto distant memories of cruising down the autobahn in his black Audi A4, a German man was stopped yesterday by police, after they caught him doing 40 mph down a high street in Geseke, Germany -- in his electric wheelchair.

 

The 54 year-old Guenther Eichmann was apparently a former engineer, and had modded his wheelchair's engine to burn rubber. Doing 40 in a 20 zone, he was actually going twice the speed limit, which we'd translate into kilometers-per-hour for you, were it not for the fact that our collective head would explode.

 

Eichmann's "vehicle" was confiscated by the cops (kinda harsh, right?), and he was slapped with a £300 fine, or roughly nine billion US dollars.

 

I certainly hope the "nine billion US dollars" is a typo!..... :huh:

If that's 300 Euros - that's about $439 US dollars

I'm not surprised they couldn't convert kilometers to miles with math skills like this.
