Driving down the highway…literally holding a mattress on their roof. No tie downs.

I saw this car crawling down Route 1 in Danvers, Massachusetts with their four ways flashers going, driving around 20mph. Curious, but annoyed, every car was slowed down and then had to go around them, with everyone else going highway speeds. As I passed, I saw the car had every window open and every single person, had their arms out the window and were holding the mattress by the sides.

Low and behold, a Mass. State trooper was parked further up the highway on the side….and it went exactly as you think it would. Pulled over. I couldn’t stop laughing.
