Speeding duck evades Swiss traffic fine

Paul Heymont 4/23/182:00 PM

The duck in the photo above is a fugitive from justice, snapped in the act of passing through a 30 km/h zone in Oberwangen, near Bern, Switzerland at nearly twice the speed limit.

The bird caught a police speed camera's attention at 52 km/h, far past the 5 km/h tolerance that would have let it escape a fine. Except, it did escape a fine and kept on going.

No word on whether its license is in jeopardy, or whether it will be able to duck punishment.
