But did they give him the ticket after all? Australian cops pull a man over for speeding ... and find he's afraid he may've been bitten by the deadly snake he just killed.

This article doesn't make quite clear whether he was still driving while fighting the snake, or if he pulled over to finish it. A linked article, though, suggests he never came to a full stop before killing the critter. By the way, it's a protected species....

Quote:Of all the things to expect when you pull someone over, my initial thought is that this would have to be a first for those officers. Then I remembered this is Australia, so it was probably the fourth case of person-speeding-down-the-highway-fighting-with-a-deadly-snake they'd seen that day, and they wished for a funnel web spider just to break the monotony.
