German police captured image of speeding motorist dressed as the Cookie Monster

One resident of Seasame Street could be feeling the heat in the kitchen from German police.

German authorities were left unimpressed when a costumed driver was captured speeding on camera near the city of Dortmund.

The driver was caught by a mobile speed camera driving just 11km over the limit in Dortmund, dressed as Cookie Monster from Seasame Street.

While the offence is only enough to land the Muppet motorist with a €40 fine, the Dortmund Police issued a no-nonsense statement saying such a costume severely limits a drivers vision and could have resulted in a very serious accident.

The car, which has been identified as a super-rare Audi RS2 Avant, is registered to a 57-year-old man from Hagen, and police say a fine has been issued.
