Driving two bumper cars in traffic

Man caught driving two dodgems along busy road:

Police officers monitoring CCTV in a Chinese city were stunned to see a man trying to drive two bumper cars along a busy road. Officer Liu Yulin said he thought he was "seeing things" when he saw the man with the fairground cars in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province.

The man, Zhang, told them he owned the bumper cars and had rented a space at a nearby amusement park but business was slack.

"I decided to try to drive them both because I didn't want to leave one blocking the road where it might be stolen," he added. Officer Xiao Hu told Zhang it was illegal to drive one bumper car, let alone two, as they were not roadworthy vehicles. However, as it was unclear what the correct punishment should be under Chinese law, he let Zhang off with a verbal caution.
