An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear".

Not much of a "legal battle"



"The photo was not approved on religious grounds. The only criterion for photos in driving licence applications is that the whole face must be visible," said Manfred Reinthaler, a police spokesman in Vienna.

...

According to Mr Reinthaler, "the licence has been ready since October 2009 - it was not collected, that's all there is to it".

I'm going to "win" the right to drive 100km/h (not in construction zones) on Deerfoot Trail, due to religious reasons. :facepalm:
