An Ontario driver decided to get creative with his lawn chair, for all the wrong reasons.
A police officer in Thunder Bay, Ontario, stopped a pickup truck on Tuesday after noticing it had unauthorized plates. When the officer approached the vehicle, he noticed something strange — the driver was sitting on a fold-up lawn chair instead of a proper driver’s seat.
But that was not the only problem with the vehicle. According to Thunder Bay Police Service, the truck had a number of other issues including a broken windshield obstructing the driver’s view, a defective door handle that trapped the driver inside the truck, and no seatbelts.
The lawnchair wasn’t the only issue. Truck in disrepair, young driver uninsured and suspended. #tbay #tbaytraffic @tbpstraffic

Police say the driver was charged with numerous offences related to the problems with the truck. He was also charged with being a suspended driver, and being the owner of a motor vehicle and operating it on a highway with no insurance.
The vehicle was impounded.
No word on if the driver got to keep his lawn chair.
