Cheeky Monkey!
A UK man faces fines for “public order offences”, and……”not wearing a seatbelt”.
BBC News primly reports:
A front seat car passenger was photographed baring his backside at a speed camera in Northumberland.
The “mooning” man was snapped by the mobile camera as the black BMW X5 drove past on the A1171 Dudley Lane in Cramlington last month.
His behaviour has been labelled as “dangerous and offensive” by road safety campaigners.
Police may take action against the man for public order offences and not wearing a seat belt.
Officers have the registration of the car, which was not breaking the speed limit, and intend to contact its owner.
It is understood the driver will not face prosecution as no driving offence was being committed.
I guess the guy’s butt was a good driver.
Jeremy Forsberg, of the Northumbria Safer Roads Initiative, said: “This behaviour is simply ridiculous – it’s clear what he was thinking with what he had on show.
“Not only is it disrespectful, but distasteful and offensive, particularly to children who may have been exposed to this nonsense.
“This prank could have been a real distraction from the driver and that is not something to laugh about.”
Bwahahaha!

This guy is a serial abuser of hyperbole, and the penultimate sanctimonious nag.

Oh yes. I would’ve linked the quotes, but I figured I’d get thrown into the spam bucket.
It’s cold and damp in there.

No, no…the butt wasn’t driving. It’s the UK, remember… steering wheel’s on the other side.
I just had a boffo marketing idea, though: inflatable latex butts, for legal camera mooning.

Brilliant idea, Weasel! The Balloon O’ Butt – for all your traffic needs!
Personally, I think anyone mooning whilst driving – or even riding in – a car should be presumed to have immunity to prosecution.
Mooning is the next best thing to being a good Samaritan.

“Driving without insurance is just disrespect – if people are willing to break the law like that, what else might they do?”
Actually, i think he’s right about that. My truck was totaled by an uninsured driver. It resulted in thousands of dollars in hospital bills plus getting a new truck. Since the driver who hit me was uninsured, no lawyer would take the case so i had to settle for small claims. I won (the driver who hit me didn’t even show up to court), but the max is $5000 which still left me thousands in the hole even if i did get it which i won’t because the driver who hit me has no assets. I also found out later that the driver had told police the accident was my fault. I had been taken away by the ambulance, but luckily a couple of people had stuck around and told the police it was the other persons fault. so in my experience, uninsured drivers are pretty worthless.

Hey, this brings up another class of interesting products.
Air bags in custom shapes. A pair of cheeks or whatever else suits your fancy.
Having been in an accident a year ago, it is safe to say the whole shebang could use a little comic relief. What better way than a pair of giant mammaries poofed out around you?
