Having sex while driving at 60mph down a motorway is not an offence in Germany. A court in Cologne fined a man who admitted he was having sex with a hitchhiker when he drove his car into a road sign, but only because he fled the scene.
"The man was convicted of hit-and-run and sentenced to a fine of €600," (£418) a court spokesman, Jürgen Mannebeck, said on Tuesday.
"It's hard to believe, but in fact no law was broken with the intercourse on the motorway. It's a situation lawmakers never thought about."
The man, 23, was also ordered to pay €400 to repair the sign.
