This is the bizarre moment a furniture shopper has to walk behind an estate car carrying a long sofa that doesn’t fit into the car transporting it.  

The video was uploaded to Facebook with the caption ‘That’s how furniture is transported in UK’. 

It is unclear where exactly in the UK the drive-by video was shot but what is clear is that it’s not an everyday occurrence.

The vehicle seems to be attempting to transport the sofa without the help of a delivery van – to hilarious effect.

A man is enlisted with the short straw job of pacing slowly behind the moving car, propping up the new purchase. 

The sofa is clearly far too long for silver estate car, hanging out of the open boot by about four foot.

The hilarious drive-by footage has emerged from the UK and was shared on Facebook 

The sofa also appears to be free hanging with no suspension in the form of ropes. 

Reacting to the video online, a Facebook user called Jarek said: ‘They didn’t discover yet the back seat can fold down? That’s just sad…’

‘Cheap removals anyone…’ added David Higgs.

The person driving could actually be in breach of Section 2 of The Road Traffic Act 1988 for dangerous driving. 

It states: ‘A person who drives a mechanically propelled vehicle dangerously on a road or other public place is guilty of an offence.’ 

Section 2a makes it more clear in this instance, it states: ‘A person is to be regarded as driving dangerously if (a)the way he drives falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver, and (b)it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.’ 

Loading your vehicle in itself is not the offence but you must exercise caution and having things sticking out or not secured properly could lead to an officer taking the view that it is dangerous, according to Mancunianmatters.
