Astonished cops found a motorist using a wooden stool instead of a driving seat when they pulled him over for a routine check.

As officers approached the car they were baffled to find the driver balancing on a tiny stool balanced on two pieces of chipboard.

To add insult to injury the 33-year-old motorist did not even have a driving licence.

The bizarre traffic stop took place in the city of Gutersloh in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia on the morning of 18th May.

According to local media, traffic cops pulled over the car while carrying out road checks in the German town.

The police said the stool was placed unsecured on two pieces of chipboard and there was no seatbelt or makeshift alternative.

A police spokesperson said the man was unable to give a plausible answer why his seat was missing and he was using a wooden stool instead.

As well as the stool and lack of seatbelt, the police also discovered that the man was driving without a licence.

The driver, who comes from the town of Harsewinkel, has been temporarily banned from driving on the roads as court proceedings get underway.
