Just read a funny article in the Dutch newspaper today 
Bij een verkeerscontrole werd de Citroen 2CV tegengehouden. Niet alleen de APK van de auto was verlopen, maar het eendje bleek ook flink wat ouderdomskwalen te hebben. Delen van dorpels en de bodemplaat ontbraken, remlichten en richtingaanwijzer waren stuk en de linker achterband was tot op de velg versleten.
Bij de aanhouding bleek de bestuurster van de eend overigens geen sleutel nodig te hebben om met de auto te kunnen rijden. Door aan de linkerzijkant van het stuurhuis op de knop voor het mistachterlicht te drukken en dan vervolgens op de bovenste knop aan de rechterkant van het stuurhuis te duwen, sloeg het eendje aan.
Tegen de 45-jarige eigenaresse is proces verbaal opgemaakt. De invalide eend is voor technisch onderzoek in beslag genomen door de politie.
In English:
Police stops cripple duck
At a traffic surveillance a 2CV was stopped. The APK (MOT/TUV or whatsoever) of the car had not only gone, but the duckling appeared also considerably to have some geriatric diseases. Parts of thresholds and the floor plate were lacking, stoplights and indicator were broken and the linker rearwheel had worn out to on the rim. At the adjournment of the duck no key appeared to be necessary to drive with the car. By pressing on the switch for the foglight on the leftside of the dashboard and then on the upper switch at the right-hand side of the dashboard, the duckling started. The 45 yeats old (female) driver was made booked for driving the car. The invalide duck has been confiscated for technical research by the police force.
They probably do not believe their eyes  |
