Traffic police report curiosity: deer skull adorns light vehicle

A 15-year-old driving a small vehicle was reported by police for having a deer skull, inadequately secured, displayed on the front of his vehicle.

In a peculiar incident, traffic police in Mühldorf, Germany, encountered a 15-year-old driving a small vehicle adorned with a splayed deer skull complete with antlers. This odd decoration, reminiscent of the larger bovine skulls often seen in American movies, was secured only by a string and tape, lacking proper safety measures. The unusual display caught the attention of the highway patrol, leading to a traffic violation report against the adolescent.

The police described the small vehicle as 'curiously decorated,' raising concerns not only about traffic safety but also about the appropriateness of such adornments. The lack of proper securing methods indicated a disregard for vehicle safety regulations, which could put both the driver and others on the road at risk. This incident highlights how whimsical personal expression can intersect with regulations meant to ensure safe transportation.

Ultimately, the 15-year-old was not only asked to remove the skull decoration but was also issued a citation for the traffic violation. The event serves as a reminder of the fine line between creative expression and compliance with traffic laws, particularly for young drivers who may be influenced by pop culture.
