Ute driver cops $300 fine for whacking a trampoline in the tray

Throwing a load into the back of the ute is a good way to get something from A to B - but there's a limit surely.

Well, one Perth ute driver has found out the hard way that some things are best put on a trailer, like the circular kid's trampoline they tried to haul around sticking up vertically like a sail from the tray.

Police in Bayswater spotted the weird load and pulled the ute over and fined the driver $300.

"Almost took out power lines, would definitely put a spring in your step - no shortcuts dismantle your load," police said.
