A motorist has been caught using a PlayStation steering wheel controller to steer his vehicle through a busy Queensland street.
Police video reveals the moment a drunken police officer realizes that the yellow car he stopped for inspection in a suburb of Indooroopilly, a western Brisbane suburb, has no standard steering gear.
‘Is that wheel really a game console wheel?’ the officer asks.
A police officer was surprised to find that the car he pulled at Indooroopilly in west Brisbane was being driven by a PlayStation console steering wheel
Initially, the officer explained to the driver that he had been detained for a vehicle inspection, with the first obvious problem being how far the tires are sticking out of the wheels.
“The vehicle track, my God!” shouts the officer.
“How far does it stick out?”
After finding further faults, the officer issues a major fault report to immediately get him off the road.
The car was also found to have tires sticking out too far from the wheel, among other safety flaws
The officer says the message is “because of the safety issues and the fact that you are using a game wheel and your seat belts don’t retract, and also because of the cut hood.”
He also discovered mounted air horns, which are illegal.
The traffic shutdown was part of a major crackdown on hoons that has been carried out in south-east Queensland in recent weeks.
The officer discovered illegal air horns mounted on the vehicle, whereupon he announced a major defect
Nearly 60 cars have been seized and 2,048 fines have been issued.
Assistant Police Commissioner Ben Marcus said there was one perpetrator who made it unnecessary to impound his vehicle.
“We saw a man burn out to the point where his car exploded and caught fire,” AC Marcus said.
“They had to pull him out of the vehicle quickly.
Major crackdown on taunting drivers in south east Queensland has sent out more than 2,000 fines and seized nearly 60 vehicles
“We didn’t confiscate that car because he destroyed it on our behalf.”
The violations included 219 drivers without a license, 72 drunk drivers and 92 people driving under the influence of drugs.
