A motorist has been busted using a PlayStation steering wheel controller to steer his vehicle down a busy Queensland street.
Police video reveals the moment a gob-smacked police officer realises the yellow car he has stopped for inspection in the inner west Brisbane suburb of Indooroopilly doesn’t have standard steering equipment.
‘Is that steering wheel actually a steering wheel from a gaming computer?’ the officer asks.
A police officer was astonished to find that the car he pulled in Indooroopilly in Brisbane’s inner west was being steered by a PlayStation console steering wheel
Initially the officer explained to the driver he had been pulled over for a vehicle inspection with the first obvious problem being how far the tires stick out from the wheels. Â
‘The vehicle track, my God!’ the officer exclaims.
‘How far is it sticking out?’
After finding further faults the officer issues a major defect notice to get it immediately off the road.
The car was also found to also have tires sticking out too far from the wheel among other safety defects
The officer says the notice is ‘for the safety issues and the fact you are using a gaming steering wheel and your seatbelts don’t retract and also the cut bonnet structure.’Â
He also discovered fitted air horns, which are illegal.Â
The traffic stop was part of a major crackdown on hoons which has been conducted across south east Queensland in recent weeks.
The officer discovered illegal air horns had been fitted to the vehicle, which he issued a major defect notice to
Almost 60 cars have been impounded and  2048 fines have been handed out.
Assistant Police Commissioner Ben Marcus said there was one offender who made it unnecessary to impound his vehicle. Â
‘We saw one guy doing a burnout to a point where his car exploded and caught fire,’ AC Marcus said.Â
‘They had to pull him out of the vehicle quickly.
A major crackdown on hoon drivers in south east Queensland has seen over 2000 fines issued and nearly 60 vehicles impounded
‘We didn’t seize that car because he destroyed it on our behalf.’Â
Among the offences were 219 unlicensed drivers, 72 drink drivers and 92 people driving under the influence of drugs.
