This car owner may have thought of self as ingenuous, but his inventive make-do trick did not pass muster with the ever-vigilant stalwarts of the police force.
We suspect that the car owner had a lot on their minds what with the misery of the crash and the duct-tape inefficacy with the police.
They say it never rains, but pours, which seems likely for this car owner. They also had the bad luck of parking the vehicle in a live lane of traffic – which of course, was the first thing noticed by the eagle-eyed traffic officer.
“Driver charged with standing in a live lane, no emergency brake and operating an unsafe vehicle in Uxbridge, said a Durham Police North Division alert on Friday.
“Vehicles involved in accidents need to be fixed properly prior to driving them; duct taping a door and window is not sufficient,” it pointed out.
No further details were released.
