Crime and Punishment

A quick browse through my old holiday snaps revealed this rather gruesome image.

Crime and Punishment. Brazil-style

Despite Brazilian drivers having a slightly more than laissez faire approach to the rules of the road (“que?” being the usual response), they do take offences by motorcyclists quite seriously as can be seen in this picture.

These two hapless motorcyclists were caught driving under the influence of doce de leite and received the ultimate sanction from the authorities. Their heads were placed on stakes as a warning to others who may be tempted to mix sugar and driving.

You have been warned!
