North Carolina Police Stop Two Men 'Driving' Couch on a Public Roadway
CMPD posted a photo of the makeshift vehicle and warned that the unusual sight could distract drivers and lead to unsafe driving.
Over the weekend, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers stopped two men driving a couch mounted on two electric scooters along South Tryon Street in North Carolina.
The makeshift "vehicle" featured a two-seater love seat hoisted on top of two Lime scooters, according to photos the department posted on Facebook.
Police warned about safety, asking, "Ask yourself: Should this be on a road?" and noting the shock of seeing such devices could cause drivers to lose focus.
Officers have provided no information regarding whether the two men were ticketed or if the "drivers" possessed valid licenses for the makeshift contraption.
CMPD urged the public on social media to "think about safety first," emphasizing the reminder applies regardless of what residents are driving or attempting to drive.
