Trucker pulled over with cardboard windscreen

So here is another funny blurb to add interest to our rainy days here in Everett/Mukilteo area!

A truck driver was pulled up by police in China – after driving for hundreds of miles with a sheet of cardboard covering his broken windscreen.

Cardboard windscreen /Quirky China News

Mr Li drove by sticking his head out of the side window – in freezing conditions – or by peering through tiny holes in the cardboard, reports China News Network.

Traffic officers ordered him to pull over after spotting him on the Jinggang’ao Highway in Henan province.

“The weather was extremely cold, but we saw a lorry with a cardboard windscreen – and the driver had his head out of the side window all the time,” said a police spokesman.

Mr Li jumped down from the cab with a face that was purple from the cold. He told officers he had been in an accident in Hubei province several days earlier but did not have time to repair it properly because of his tight delivery schedule.

He admitted to police that he had driven with the temporary cardboard windscreen for an incredible 400 miles.

“When there were a lot of vehicles I would drive with my head out of the window,” he told police.

“I would drive like that until my neck got too sore and numb, when I would drive by looking through the little holes in the cardboard.”

Police escorted the truck to a nearby service station, and ordered Li to repair his vehicle properly before going back on the road.

The Jonas Brothers’ tour dates have just been announced by Live Nation, and they will be making a stop in Everett. The tour, which kicks off the aptly named “Look Me In The Eyes” tour for Jonas Brothers’ new single “When You Look Me In The Eyes,” will play the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center on February 5.

The announcement comes on the heels of a wildly successful year for Jonas Brothers, which included their first platinum album and their special guest appearance on the sold out “Best of Both Worlds” arena tour with Hanna Montana, massive internet and top 40 radio exposure, and countless TV appearances and magazine covers.

FYI: Billboard magazine also named the group the pop tour break out pick for 2008.
