An Austrian man's been allowed to appear on his new driver's licence with an upturned pasta strainer on his head .. because he's a Pastafarian.
It's taken three years and a trip to the dotor to check he was mentally fit to drive .. but transport authorities have decided they're okay with the colander as a religious accessory.
Entrepreneur NIKO ALM says he gave it a go after reading that headgear was only allowed in official pictures for "confessional" reasons.
The atheist says he belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster .. and he now wants to apply for Pastafarianism to become an officially recognised faith in Austria.
