A man was arrested over the weekend after being caught driving his car with no front seat — instead, the man was sitting in a lawn chair.

He was charged with impaired driving.

Cpl. Sol Puentespina said he can’t comment on whether or not the action was dangerous, because he wasn’t there, but said it is something that doesn’t happen very often.

“When you drive a vehicle like that there are certain regulations under the vehicle administration act of how your vehicle is supposed to be and that’s one of the main ones that you shouldn’t be driving with a lawn chair as a fronts seat because it’s not anchored down properly,” he said, to explain what makes driving while sitting in a lawn chair illegal.
