This Unbelievable Wreck Was Caught Driving With Its Suspension Held Together By A Scarf
Police in the UK have stopped a car whose suspension was being held together with a wheel clamp, a scarf and a bike lock-style chain.
Described by the police as ‘one of the worst cars ever examined’, the vehicle – an old Suzuki Swift – is an absolute wreck. The driver’s side door panel looks like it has seen the wrong end of a crowbar at the front edge, the front wing has extensive damage and there’s at least one tyre that’s so illegal it’s down to the carcass.
Derbyshire Roads Police stopped the offending rustbucket and promptly condemned it to be crushed. They tweeted these pictures along with the hashtag #DeathTrap. We can’t argue with that.
We have to say we’re a bit shocked by these shots. Even bearing in mind how little some people care about their cars and keeping them road-legal, this is a bad one. Let’s all just hope those people never come anywhere near us!

I bet the driver was scarfed
They should have used zipties, those thing fix everything!
And what happened to the driver?
Roadkill: We don’t see the problem here? All I see is ingenuity and elbow grease.
In west australia we don’t have an anual mot but the cops can yellow sticker your car and you have to get it inspected for ‘suspected worn wiper blades’.
Both of my cars are from the 70’s and I have no idea how the rest of the classic car world outside of america survives.
How i feel about this: “Hey guys, let’s throw rocks to that guy or girl how is too poor to get his or her car fixed properly”
Congratulation for poor shaming somebody else, you must be very proud of you.
years ago, a guy from a local parts store drove his ford falcon into our shop, he was selling it that day, it had rags wrapped around the tie rod ends on both sides, and the person buying it knew this too ..
