Canadian police have impounded a car after discovering its owner was sitting on a folding picnic chair. Officers were patrolling the streets of greater Toronto area when they noticed off about a passing vehicle. After pulling over the motorist, they found that the driver’s seat had been removed and replaced with a low-riding outdoor seat. The laid-back ride was declared an “unfit vehicle”, its license plates were removed and it was impounded.
This conversation was originally broadcast on 3SER's 97.7FM Casey Radio in December 2020. It was produced by Rob Kelly.
