Duck! Speed camera catches repeat offender

  • On April 13 in Koniz, near Bern, Switzerland, a radar camera recorded a mallard exceeding the 30 km/h limit by reaching a speed of 52 km/h.
  • Authorities suspected the duck might be a habitual speedster after identifying an image of a nearly identical bird caught flying past the radar in the same location, traveling at the identical velocity, on the very same date seven years before.
  • Police were amazed by the radar images, which municipal officials verified as authentic, securely stored, and not altered or staged.
  • The police inspectorate affirmed that neither the images nor the radar system could be tampered with, noting that the equipment undergoes annual calibration and testing by METAS, the Swiss national metrology institute.
  • This unusual incident highlights the accuracy and reliability of traffic monitoring technology while prompting local authorities to consider the possibility of a belated prank.
