A woman in labour and her partner who were caught speeding on their way to hospital have dodged a ticket because their crime was just too cute!
Traffic cops in Wachtberg, Germany were so besotted with Barbara Meyer's newborn baby (a little boy) they swapped the couple's speeding fine for a cuddly toy.
Besides the fine, the fact that his parents were let off without a conviction means they get to keep their existing cheap car insurance policy.
The police also handed over a copy of the speed camera photo - for the baby's scrapbook.
"I didn't realise having a cute baby could save you money on your woman car insurance," said Lee-Ann Bass, spokesperson for the woman car insurance specialists at CoverGirl.
"I'm not sure if UK police officers would react the same way though," she added.
