Ban for speedy Santa
A speeding Santa will have to find a new way to deliver his presents this year after German cops slapped him with a driving ban.
Bernhard Siewert, 36, was stopped by road traffic police near Munster while dressed as Father Christmas.
He said he was only speeding because he was late for a festive party at an OAPs home where he had to give out presents.
But the police officers said they had caught him on camera driving at 92 mph in a 60 mph zone and could not ignore the law even for Santa.
He was slapped with a fine and a three-month driving ban.
