Man Stopped By Police For Driving With A Parrot On His Steering Wheel

Never mind the fuss about mobile phones - this guy was driving along the motorway with a parrot perched on his steering wheel

A driver in Kent has been slapped with a fine after being spotted by police with a parrot on his steering wheel. Yes, that’s a parrot. On his steering wheel.

Apparently the 20-something driver, who clearly couldn’t see the road properly because of the exotic bird in front of his face, was returning it to a friend but didn’t think to put the parrot in a cage for the journey.

Kent Police’s traffic units caught the man in a bit of a flap on the M20 during the morning rush hour, issuing him with a traffic offence report for not being in proper control of a vehicle. Sadly there’s no publicly available video of the stop.

It’s hard to believe he wasn’t punished more harshly. Maybe if the guy does it again, he’ll have to do bird

Honestly, when does this Ever happen?! A man was pulled over because he had a PARROT on his steering wheel?! What are the odds of that ever happening?

Given there are 7 billion people, a solid portion of those drive, and most of them don’t take it seriously, pretty good odds. I’m fun at parties.

Might be a good time for us to remind everyone not to drive with a Disklok on the steering wheel either…

You forgot to mention, the bird has been arrested for drink-driving afterwards.
