And finally… divine right of way

A viral video shows the young driver, name unknown, confront traffic officers while claiming to be an important extra-terrestial.

He is pictured saying: “You have your regulations, but we have our regulations in the Milky Way as well. I’m from a royal family.

“If you let me go, then I will let this incident pass. However, if you p**s me off, I will be forced to destroy the Earth.

“My royal family is the biggest in the galaxy and no one has ever dared to make me this unhappy.”

The bemused officers - who asked why he wasn’t flying a UFO - were unconvinced and gave him a ticket.

There is no news yet of the imminent interstellar diplomatic incident.
