Some people go to extreme lengths to avoid getting a ticket — but this driver might’ve just set a new world record for dumbest idea ever caught on dashcam.
Instead of mounting their license plate like every other human on Earth, they decided to hold it out the window with their bare hand… while driving down the highway.
Yep. That happened.
The idea? To beat the speed cameras and toll scanners. The reality? Every driver on the road saw it. Including the unmarked police cruiser right behind them.
Officers pulled the car over within minutes, and bodycam footage shows the driver acting completely shocked that they were in trouble.
“But I have the plate right here!” they argued, waving it like that somehow made things better.
Spoiler: it didn’t.
They were cited for multiple violations — and now the footage is going viral, with the internet officially declaring:
“This is why aliens won’t visit us.”
