What could possibly go wrong here?
We all have friends and family members who are enjoying their time in the southern hemisphere on the beach, soaking up the sun and lamenting the fact that they can’t get a good cup of tea or Tayto for love nor money.
One Irish citizen in New Zealand isn’t having the craic though after he was pulled over by local authorities after they spotted his rather risky method of kayak transportation.
Apparently this Irishman thought it was a good idea to tie his kayak side-ways across the roof of his car whilst driving through Coromandel’s busy roads.
What makes things worse is that according to official reports, “the driver was unrepentant telling the officer that stopped him that if he secured the kayak long-ways as he is supposed to it would cause damage to the roof of his car”.
Yeah, I think we can all agree that this Irish lad doesn’t have much of a case. At least if he looses his licence then he can travel around New Zealand by kayak though.
