A burger lover in the US has turned his motorcycle into a three wheeled tribute to his favourite delicacy. The 53 year old customised his 1987 Harley Davidson Sportster by adding glass fibre components so that it resembles a hamburger and this vehicle is now a well-known local sight in Daytona, Florida where he lives.

One man was travelling at around 210km/h in his mother’s Mercedes, roughly twice the speed limit for the stretch of road, when he was spotted by police and stopped. When asked in court to explain his reasons for the inappropriate speed, he explained that the vehicle did not have cupholders and was therefore unable to hold his cup of tea. This was why he had to secure it on the seat, between his legs instead.

    A British driver was so affected by alcohol that he did not realise his car had shed a front wheel after he collided with a wall.

He drove the car 13km from his home to the centre of a nearby town, after consuming a bottle of wine for reasons that have not been fully explained. On reaching his destination, he parked his battered Seat car and staggered across the road where he was prom
