Trucker pulled over with cardboard windscreen

Trucker Sing Li drove more than 500 miles on a motorway - with a cardboard windscreen. Li, 24, refused to replace his van's glass screen after it was shattered by a stone.

So he taped thick cardboard to the frame to keep out the wind and then drove by sticking his head out of the driver's window to see where he was going.



By the time police arrested him in Henan, eastern China, for dangerous driving Li's head had turned blue from the cold and one of his eyes was frozen shut.

"I didn't want to fall behind in my delivery schedule and I couldn't afford a repair," he told a court before losing his licence.
