A police officer who arrested a suspect in the UK was then forced to ask for a lift to take the man to the local police station. Worse still, the person the policeman asked was the suspect’s mother. The incident occurred when the policeman accidentally locked his car keys inside the boot (trunk) of his patrol vehicle, along with items he recovered that he assumed to be stolen. Luckily for the policeman, the suspect’s mother said she would comply with this request. However, the suspects neighbours were rather amused at the curious sight and stood and the roadside, jeering with derision.

At times police drivers also can make a simply mistake, as recently happened in the Spanish Mediterranean city of Barcelona. A

    A British man has built an unusual custom vehicle with a front grille made from bottle caps and a steering wheel featuring part of an old firework rocket. Based on an old BMW Z3, the car’s six cylinder engine is visible and has been fitted with salt and pepper pots, to form part of the visual appearance of the vehicle. The car has a top speed of 224km/h and hopefully none of the additions will fall off at speed. Meanwhile a Hungarian man has built a car from wood, using the engine from an old Polish-made Fi
