What the Honk: Taking mattress into your own hands

Trooper Steve highlights unusual scenes caught on Florida roads

ORLANDO, Fla. – As the heat begins to rise, so do the HONKS, please let’s not get too crazy.

You missed your mark here, driver. Never ever is this allowed. I don’t think most people realize how much of a problem you are causing when parked in a space like this. Now, what if someone parked in the proper spot? See my point here? Let’s do better.

What the actual honk is going on here? Two box springs and three mattresses on top of a compact Mitsubishi. I am all about a nap and good sleep, but at this point the driver’s visibility around their vehicle is impaired pretty heavily. Maybe make more than one trip next time if you can.

This could have been a tragic scene. Not only did this driver eat this red light for breakfast, but the speed at which this driver blows through this red light is beyond not caring, it’s about to the level of feeling privileged. I am glad the other drivers were aware and able avoid this clown.
