Police pull over 'strangest vehicle they've ever seen' - but it's totally legal

Police officers were left baffled after stopping a particularly curious vehicle on a motorway - before finding out it was perfectly legal.

Beds, Cambs and Hert road policing unit took to Twitter to share a photo of the wacky car before confirming that it was all in order.

The strange automobile appeared to be a three wheeler that stood somewhere between a small boat and a plane cockpit.

Officers stopped to check whether the mash-up of a motor was legal before admitting they were still not really sure what it was.

BCH Road Policing tweeted: "The most unusual vehicle I've stopped on a motorway in my 26 years! All checked and in order, although still not convinced I know what it is."

Police deemed the vehicle was legal to ride on the road, meaning it had a number plate, was taxed and insured, as well as having working lights and brakes.

This means it would also have had to have passed an MOT test.

Equally confused drivers have since commented on the curious vehicle.

One Tweeted: "I wouldn't be driving that thing on a motorway. Looks like a deathtrap!"

Another wrote: "This was on a M O T O R W A Y...??? I don't know whether to be appalled or impressed by the bravery of the driver."

Someone else said: "Now that really is breaking away from any convention! I like it."
