Friday Funny: Ticketed For Singing and Driving
OK, the officer said it was "screaming" a song that got a driver near Montreal in trouble.
Adam Kovac reports that Taoufik Moalla was ticketed for "cheerfully singing along to the 1990 C+C Music Factory hit, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." The ticket's cost: $149.
"Police checked his license and registration and came back with the ticket for screaming in his car, and a fine for disturbing the peace," adds Kovac.
Taoufik Moalla intends to protest the ticket.
