Everything can look nicer at Christmas - even speed control devices.
The city of Lahr in Baden-Württemberg has given a mobile speed camera trailer a curious Christmas decoration and announced that it will not use it to take photos of offenders over the Christmas holidays.
Blitzer takes a "Christmas break"
According to the city's Facebook page, the speed camera was transformed into a reindeer sleigh and provided with fir branches and two reindeer.
A reindeer, disguised as Santa Claus, stands on the roof of the speed camera and holds the reins in his hands as the "driver".
»Well, look here: even our speed camera trailer has dressed up for Christmas.
And that's not all, he's actually taking a Christmas break and won't take any photos from December 24th to 26th, 2021.
Please drive slowly and considerately anyway, «commented the city on the photo posted on Facebook.
