Cheating increases during Wacky Races


Cheating has soared rise by 100 percent on the famous driving competition as competitors turn to giant boulders and ACME bombs to gain an advantage.


According to freedom of information data from Hanna-Barbera Productions, many cases involve Dick Dastardly and Muttley.  Sometimes he disguises himself as the Abominable Snowman or a gorilla, uses giant elastic bands, illusionary rivers or anvils.  


Professor Pat Pending, of The Flintstone University, warned of the dangers of these actions, "It means that there will be more accidents, collisions, damage to the cars,  damage to human beings and, in some cases, bears" .


Industry leaders blamed the increase on Dastardly and Muttley's desperation to win, while the DVSA blamed the apparent general rise in cheating on improved detection due to the fact that "every attempt to cheat was witnessed by thousands of children all over the country" (Source BARB).


Dastardly's usual race strategy revolves around using his car's great speed to get ahead of the other racers, and then setting a trap to stop them. If he just concentrated on driving he would win every race.
