BERLIN (Reuters) - A 53-year-old German woman who was driving her dead mother across country to save on mortuary transportation costs was fined by police for disturbing a dead person's peace.
"You're not allowed to transport dead people in your private car," said Ralf Schomisch, police spokesman in Koblenz, where the car was found after a tip-off from a mortuary.
"The corpse was on the back seat without a seat belt, which in this case didn't really matter. But it was covered up with clothing. It is a misdemeanour."

Didn't Clark Griswold try and drive a corspe
across country? I believe there was no seatbelt
used in that case either...

No, he was driving his cousin Eddie's mother-in-law to her son's house, but she died on the way there. He ended up leaving her in a lawnchair in the son's backyard (in the pouring rain, at night) with a note telling what had happened.

To be fair, Griswold strapped his dead aunt to the roof of the station wagon.

I'm sorry when I saw this line:
"The corpse was on the back seat without a seat belt, which in this case didn't really matter.
I could resist posting.

Can you see that debate on the floor of Congress?
"I believe in protecting the peace of dead people. Therefor we need a law against people taking the dead for a drive in their private vehicles."

When I first saw the title, I immediately thought someone had kidnapped Alan Combs or James Carville and took them for a drive.
