Bad drivers in eastern Hungary will be left with a sour taste in their mouths next month when school students will accompany traffic police and hand out pieces of lemon along with a fine.
Good drivers will be rewarded with an apple during the month-long campaign in Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg county, state news agency MTI reported Thursday.
"A penalty coming from a kid for breaking rules generates a stronger feeling of guilt among adults than a simple fine", county police spokesman Gergely Fulop said.
Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg, about 200 km (125 miles) from Budapest, is the center of Hungary's fruit industry.
