When Pigs Fly and Monkeys Drive Cars

Is that a monkey I see ripping down the highway? "No," according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety who accuses the car owner, Dave Vontesmar, of 37 unpaid speeding tickets, which amount to about $6,500. Vontesmar, when asked about paying the unpaid tickets said, "Not one of them there is a picture where you can identify the driver...I sent back all these ones I got with a copy of my driver's license and said, 'It's not me. I'm not paying them.'"

The Arizona Department of Public Safety refutes Vontesmar's claims and stated that they have surveillance of 4 separate occasions where Vontesmar was video recorded putting on either a monkey or giraffe-like mask, while leaving his house for work. Vontesmar also stands accused of having been ticketed over 90 times by photo-enforced traffic cameras, but many of them had expired before The Arizona DPS decided to serve him directly with the remaining 37 tickets.
