Police stop driver who tried to balance SWING SET on car roof

This is the extraordinary moment a driver was pulled over by police who were not keen on them trying to transport a SWING SET on the roof of a car.

The bonkers motorist somehow thought that the huge metal apparatus – with swings attached – would be fine to transport along a busy road in Auckland, New Zealand.

And just to make extra sure the swing wouldn’t fall, the driver could be seen holding onto it with one arm while steering with the other hand.

However, police officers who saw the precariously balanced frame took a dim view to the driver’s idea and promptly pulled them over to have a word.

Commenters on the Kiwi Az Bro Facebook page, where the pictures were published, found the whole thing hilarious.

One person wrote: “Give the man a gold star for trying.”

Another added: I don’t see what the problem is, police are just being picky.”

Police confirmed that one person had been stopped by officers over the incident but did not release details of their identity, according to One News.
