Teens Arrested For Motorized Office Chair

Posted by samzenpus on from the crazyboy dept.

German police have confiscated the world's fastest office chair and arrested its 17-year-old inventors. The duo added a lawnmower engine, brakes and a metal frame to the office chair and were reported to be driving it all over the streets of Gross-Zimmern. Police did not comment on the chair's handling or acceleration but I look forward to it being profiled on Top Gear.

    What part of "motorized vehicle driven on public roads" did you miss?

    every motorized vehicle

    What about bicycles?

    Come on, I'm sure you can work it out yourself if you read it over a few more times. OK, I give in, here's the answer. If the 'bicycle' is 'motorized' then it "needs to pass a regular safety test*1 , has to have vehicle insurance and you'll need the right driving license."
