OSLO - A NORWEGIAN man faces a heavy fine and a driving ban
after police caught him having sex with his girlfriend while
speeding on the motorway, police said on Monday.
The unnamed couple, a 28-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, were
caught in the act late on Easter Sunday by traffic police on the
E18 highway, some 40 kilometres west of Oslo.
Officers who clocked the couple's silver Mazda 323 racing at 133
kilometres per hour in a 100 zone realised they were doing more
than just breaking the speed limit, police told AFP.
'It was veering from one side to the other because the woman was
sitting on the man's lap while he was driving and doing the act,
shall we say,' said Tor Stein Hagen, a superintendent with Soendre
Buskerund district police.
'He couldn't see much because her back was in the way,' he added.
'Why they did it on a highway with such a high risk we don't
know.'
After following the couple for nearly a kilometre, officers pulled
the car over at a service station.
'We have taken away his driving licence because of the danger that
he caused,' Supt Hagen said.
Prosecutors will decide within the next week what his punishment
will be, with police having filmed the incident to use as evidence
against the driver.
Supt Hagen said he expected the man to face a fine of 'several
thousand Norwegian crowns' and a lengthy driving ban. -- AFP
