Kicker - Driving under the Beatles’ influence

NICK EICHER, HOST: You remember that Beatles song We All Live In a Yellow Submarine? Well, someone in southwest Florida appeared to be driving in one last week.

Drivers in southwest Florida spotted the strange vehicle on US Hwy 41.

And State Trooper Ken Watson Told TV station WBBH it created an unsafe situation.

WATSON: As a trooper, I would most certainly stop that vehicle, putting yourself in a very dangerous situation.

Dangerous because, even though it was bright yellow with a red flashing light, it’s still small and low enough to the ground that drivers might not see it.

That’s because the strange submarine-like vehicle is actually an enclosed recumbent bicycle.

Florida law allows cyclists on the road, but it doesn’t allow them to hold up traffic or create a dangerous situation.

Police say it’s probably best to drive yellow submarines on less busy roads.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
