However, for one driver in Germany, this wasn't entirely the case after he discovered that his pet pooch may have been the perpetrator – or, at least it seemed that way after he received his penalty notice which arrived with an amusing photo showing his dog behind the wheel.

The man, who has not been named, was in fact issued a fine of 50 Euros because he had been driving faster than the speed limit.

He was sent a letter notifying that he'd been captured by a traffic camera.

But instead of seeing himself behind the wheel, the accompanying image depicted a small white dog nestled behind the steering wheel, staring delightfully at the road ahead with not a worry in the world.
