ESTERO, Fla. — A Florida woman decided to transport her full-size couch by using her convertible MINI Cooper.
The woman was caught on camera driving her MINI Cooper convertible, hauling her cargo in a different and dangerous way.
“It’s a horrible idea,” said Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Greg Bueno. “The couch itself is bigger than the MINI Cooper.”
The video was taken Monday on the Estero Community Bridge. The woman can be seen holding the couch with a hand that should be on the steering wheel.
Lt. Bueno said there’s a multitude of problems with this picture.
“It’s not properly strapped down,” Lt. Bueno said. “She’s holding it with her right arm. It’s an obstruction of view.”
If you’re not familiar with MINI Coopers, they’re not big cars by any stretch of the imagination.
“It’s simply too large of an object to place on top of a MINI Cooper,” said Lt. Bueno.
What the video and pictures don’t show is where she’s driving.
The bridge crosses over busy I-75. If that couch were to come loose for any reason, it puts the drivers on the bridge, and those below on the interstate, in danger.
“That’s how tragedies happen, and we’ve had far too many recently in our local community,” said Lt. Bueno.
If troopers catch drivers hauling a couch like this, you could face a citation.
