Hilarious footage has captured the moment a driver got stuck behind a mobility scooter carrying a double mattress.
The slow-moving vehicle was spotted pottering along a suburban road with the wide load precariously balanced in the driver’s seat.
The footage was recorded in the Boothville area of Northampton.
The motorist was taking his daughter out for a drive when they came across the bizarre sight up ahead.
In the video, the scooter, which has a maximum speed of 8mph, even swerves between speed bumps to avoid tipping over.
The unnamed driver posted a video of the encounter on social media on October 22.
‘I was taking my daughter out and we ended up following this chap driving down a road carrying a mattress on his scooter,’ he said.
The clip has been viewed over 77,000 times, with many people praising the scooter driver’s determination.
Catherine P joked: ‘At least they’ve got their hazards on, lol.Definitely determined!’
Robert Kustos commented: ‘A good gust of wind from behind and he’ll be doing 40 mph.’
Donna Leanne Gwin added: ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’
This is not the first time an overloaded mobility scooter has been filmed on Britain’s roads.
In another hilarious clip, a mobility scooter user was spotted driving along with three wooden panels crammed into the back of the buggy.
Tyrone Mullan, 30, captured the unusual sight as his friend drove to a supermarket in Bristol in May 2020.
