A WEST German lorry driver found an original way of concealing the evidence when he was asked by police to produce his tachograph sheets. He ate them.
The 37-year-old driver was questioned by a police officer because his vehicle was illegally parked in the middle of Bonn.
He claimed that he had stopped there "only a few minutes" and the policeman demanded to see proof in the form of the tachograph sheets. The driver took them out and promptly put them in his mouth, chewed and then swallowed them.
"Now try and read them," he said. The court fined him DM330 (about £80) for destroying a legal document. But the driver will appeal.
