Why would you ever cover your windscreen with masking tape?

Bizarre footage has emerged from China of police officers stopping a truck with a broken front window that someone had covered with dozens of strips of yellow tape.

In the video, captured at a highway toll station in Jiangsu Province late last month, a man can be seen driving while looking through the barely visible window which is roughly fixed by Sellotape, before some police officers notice and stop him.

According to local reports, the front window of the truck was broken earlier that day. The driver decided to risk his life as he wanted to deliver the goods to the destination in time.

Traffic police later fined the driver and asked him to have the window repaired before setting on road again.
