The good news is, they are most unlikely to be prosecuted for speeding. Two employees of the Boise, Idaho city ice skating rink have been fired for making a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis. An anonymous tipster reported seeing the two big ice-resurfacing machines chug through a Burger King drive-through and return to the rink about 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 10. The squat, rubber-tired vehicles, which have a top speed of about 5 mph, drove 1½ miles in all.
The Zamboni operators, both temporary city employees, had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World. The bad news is that the employees could still face charges for driving an unlicensed vehicle in a public street.
