Police stopped a driver who was driving whilst balancing a sofa on the top of their car in Leeds. Footage shared by West Yorkshire Police on Tuesday (16 December) shows officers pulling over a vehicle on a busy road, as they feared that other road users were at risk. A passenger was holding the sofa in place, which officers said was not a “safe or legal way to travel”. Police confirmed that a traffic offence report was issued and the sofa was removed.
