Remi Gaillard Makes Sure Speeding Cars Look like Lingerie Models

You’ve probably all heard about Remi Gaillard. Or maybe not, since he’s French. But, anyway, the man is genuinely crazy and has pulled some crazy and ridiculous stunts over the years.

He’s now growing old, so his pranks have become more subtle, more meaningful and less dangerous. That is to say, he’s no longer stealing hats off policemen’s heads and then running for his life (or rather his chance to sleep at home that night), or driving in a Mario Kart and giving them the finger, but he still has a soft spot for law enforcers.

This new stunt is also meant as an act of defiance towards the authorities, a message reading “I don’t care much about what you’re doing, and this is what I think about it.” Is he also doing it for publicity? Well, yes, of course, otherwise how is he supposed to get his message across?

Three years ago, he’s had another go at the whole speed camera thing, but that time it was from a very different perspective. He dressed as a speed camera and sat on the side of the road flashing (the regular kind of flashing) cars passing by. It all got funny when a Police car got flashed, which it obviously didn’t like. How do you like them apples now, huh?

Now, Remi decided to turn into a professional photographer without investing into any kind of equipment, but using the readily available speed cameras instead. Brilliant idea, right? His first option (isn’t it everyone’s?) was a swimsuit model whom he placed in front of the device and asked to strike a pose. Then he signaled cars passing by to speed up in order to trigger the camera. Well, having a half-naked girl on the side of the road and telling motorists to step on it don’t really go together that well.

He says that he hasn't inquired the authorities about the photos yet, but I suspect anytime soon he'll be getting impatient phone calls from those newly-weds asking for the images of their big day.

And remember: Remi Gaillard is doing all these things so you don’t have to.
