A Smart Truck Driver

And I thought getting a sparrow wedged in the radiator was bad...

A lorry driver shunted a tiny Smart car two miles down a busy German motorway because he didn't know it was wedged to his truck.

Klaus Buergermeister said he was surprised when a patrol car signalled for him to stop as he was not driving too fast and had only had his vehicle serviced the week before.

"I couldn't believe it when I got out of the truck and saw there was a car stuck on the front of it," he said.

He added he had felt a slight bump, but said he thought he had simply driven over a stone in the road.

Here's a Smart car:

I think I'd rather walk.
