Big Stop

These clowns are laughing on the other side of their faces - after being fined 100 GBP for speeding.

The fancy dress revellers - on their way to a carnival in Moerschwil, Switzerland - were snapped on a speed camera doing more than 60mph in a 45mph zone in their Volkswagen Beetle.

Wearing blond wigs and in full make up Frank Giesler, 34 and Paul Hochstrasser, 35, tear through the speed trap apparently unaware that they've been caught.

"Speeding is no laughing matter, not even if you're wearing baggy trousers and a red nose," said one officer.

"I suppose we should count ourselves lucky that the wheels and the bonnet didn't fall off," he added.
