Ammon News - Hertfordshire Police shared a video on social media of a driver who could have caused a collision after placing an unsecured football net on top of his car.

The video showed the incident, where the driver pulls out of a junction with the goal fully assembled on top of the vehicle.

The car is seen pulling over quickly after the police approach, with the frame visibly not properly secured.

In the UK, driving with an insecure load is illegal and classed as dangerous, Hertfordshire Police noted on social media. Serious cases can lead to prison, according to Sky News.

The police said the driver was docked three points from their license and ordered to pay a £120 fine and a £48 victim surcharge.

A spokesperson for Hertfordshire Police told The Sun that the incident took place on May 12 last year, at around 6.08pm in Borehamwood.

They added that the driver “recently attended court” where they were given the penalty.

The police said on social media: “While this clip may have made you laugh (or gasp!), there's a serious side. The goal was not secured properly and could have easily caused a collision.”
