“Don’t try this at home!”
Oklahoma Highway Patrol is warning drivers to learn from another’s mistakes after Trooper Joe Spears encountered a bizarre case of redneck engineering on the Turner Turnpike last week.
According to a post on the OHP Facebook Page, the officer pulled over a driver near the Kellyville exit on the Turner Turnpike after realizing the vehicle was pulling a trailer with one of the tires missing.
In place of the missing tire, the driver had chosen to rest the trailer on a furniture dolly and proceeded to drive it on the Turner Turnpike.
“It quite obviously was not working,” the statement said on Facebook.
The driver was given a warning for “defective tires,” and a ticket for driving with a suspended license. OHP says he called a friend to haul the trailer away.
