ST. LOUIS, Mo. (WCMH) – Video from a Missouri freeway shows two people ‘twerking’ on top of a moving vehicle.
It happened Monday during rush hour in St. Louis. Video shows two people dancing on top of a Suburban. Another person is halfway out a window recording everything.
The woman who recorded the video told KSDK she did not call police, but hoped posting the video to social media would lead someone to recognize the people.
Police call this kind of behavior a safety hazard.
“They could fall off of the car and cause other drivers to wreck. It’s a dangerous situation for themselves and other drivers! They could fall off and create a fatal accident. We do not encourage anyone to try anything like this ever. You are supposed to be in your car when you drive,” A spokesperson said.
Police said the people in and on the vehicle could be cited for several things, including riding on the exterior of a motor vehicle, not wearing a seat belt, failing to maintain minimum speed and failure to display a license plate.
I guessed, then I looked. I was right.
And the dancing looked like some of the old National Geographic specials.
One of the dumbass things we did as kids was to change drivers over the roof of the car while on the highway. Idiotic, but VERY disconcerting to other cars... Another was to just have two kids riding on top of the station wagon lying down, then they’d get up randomly and scare other drivers. On hilly roads, they’d grab the front of the roof rack while their bodies floated into the air at the crest of the hill. There’s a road near where I grew up we did that on that the county flattened becuase of too many deaths from morons like us.
A stunt that was safer to pull off was to have the driver turn around and talk to the girls in the backseat while the front passenger grabbed the steering wheel from below so they couldn’t see (back w/ bench seats). They’d realize after a few moments that the driver wasn’t driving and freak out.
Did a lot other more stupid things... just glad I survived adolescence.
Don’t hot the brakes. Just keep driving...
