Just when you thought that people who drive their cars without clearing all of the ice off of their windscreens was bad, along came the chap in this video.
He obviously thought better of clearing off the snow from his windscreen, so he instead decided to drive his pick-up whilst standing on the foot rails.
There’s no-end of reasons as to why this could go wrong not just for the driver, but for other road users as well.
One slip of his foot and not only would he vanish underneath the vehicle, but his massive (by UK standards) pick-up truck would then effectively become a huge wrecking ball.
Maybe he has seen footage of the Queen riding in her open carriage with her footmen perched on the steps of the carriage and thought that he would try and replicate the ‘outriders’.
Or perhaps he was just enjoying the fresh air and so he wanted to remain on the outside of the car instead of keeping in the warm on the inside.
Who knows.
What we do know, however, is that on the 0-10 danger scale, then this would come in at about a 9.

Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
