Bumper cars are good for crashing into other cars in a controlled way. But, what if we could drive them for real?
A man has been spotted in Essex driving a dodgem. Although, it’s not quite like that. The footage, uploaded by Ben Peters on Facebook, shows the man stagnant at a junction. So, whether he was actually driving a bumper car or sitting on the road in one is unclear.
The dashcam video shows Peters driving down a road and as he makes a turn, the man, bumper car and all can be seen. Dodgems are normally controlled by electricity by connecting the car and power source by a pole. This has been removed from the mystery man’s car. Therefore, it is impossible to know if this thing is even driveable, let alone how.
Honestly, I’m hoping for some Flintstones kind of contraption where it is powered by his feet.
How do you think the bumper car works?
At least he wasn’t driving like a maniac like this man who drove into a nightclub while drunk
