Guess Who's Being Sued For Not Wearing Seat Belt

It turns out not even the Pope is infallible when it comes to seat belt safety.

A German citizen has filed a lawsuit against Pope Benedict XVI after spotting the leader traveling in the Popemobile without a safety belt during his September visit to the German town of Freiburg.

Freiburg has confirmed that a lawsuit had been filed.

It remains unclear whether the Pope would be held accountable to the law because of his German citizenship or if "he enjoys diplomatic immunity as the head of a foreign state.

The Popemobile, which travels at an average speed of about 6 mph, does contain seat belts.
