Uninsured driver reprimanded for using shoe laces to operate windscreen wipers
Shocked police officers in Staffordshire reprimanded a driver who used shoe laces to operate his windscreen wipers.
Staffordshire Police posted a video of the "creative" DIY fix to broken wipers on social media.
They posted: "As creative it appears to use shoe laces to manually operate your broken wipers, it isn’t acceptable!"
Not only was the driver punished for his car not being road worthy - he also had much bigger problems for the police to deal with.
The police added: "The lack of licence and insurance takes matters to another level. Vehicle seized by @StaffsRCT.
"Driver reported for using a vehicle without docs and in a dangerous condition."
