'Jousting Audi' stopped in Lancashire after giant 12ft plank of wood spotted poking from boot
Officers pulled over the blue Audi A3 in Blackburn at around 9.30am this morning (June 25) and issued the driver with a TOR (Traffic Offence Report).
The plank, measuring approximately 12ft, had been secured with rope but had been protruding around 4ft into the road as the Audi navigated rush hour traffic.
Police said the wood has since been seized.

"We wondered if this driver was planning some DIY or reliving a youth spent at Camelot watching jousting", quipped the officers.
"The driver didn’t realise how dangerous this plank was both to himself and the public.
"TOR issued and wood removed. #WalkThePlank."
