Police shamed what could be the UK's messiest car - filled with fast food wrappers, crisp packets and fizzy drinks cans. Officers shared a photo showing how the vehicle looked inside after being stopped.
The items scatted across the passenger seat and in the footwell of the Ford Focus included newspapers, McDonald's bags and drinks and several empty Greggs bags and Diet Coke cans. The driver's crisps of choice appeared to be Quavers and Aldi's Snackrite own brand.
The photo was shared by Kent Police's roads policing unit - who said officers did not expect to find such a mess inside, Birmingham Live reports. Officers said on Twitter: "The odd sweet wrapper or dropped crisp from the our colleagues on handover all of a sudden doesn't appear so bad. The inside of a car stopped and seized today for no insurance, no MOT and no vehicle excise licence."
The sight of the messy car prompted a strong response from followers. Gary Silvester said: "Good lord. Need a skip for that!" Murphynice34 wrote: "God if that’s what the car is like, I’d hate to think what it’s like at home!"
Meanwhile elthampug said: "At least it’s inside the vehicle and not been chucked out the window!" Olivia Landry added: "At least the driver kept the rubbish in the car and didn’t ditch it onto the verge like most people in Kent seem to do."
And spotting that the seatbelt appeared to be clipped into place, Steve Varley observed one other positive to come from the mess: "At least all that rubbish was wearing a seat belt."
