A man in Adelaide will be hoping the charges don’t stick after he was arrested for using a frying pan as a steering wheel.

Just after 8am on Sunday 4 September, patrols were called to Norman Street following reports of a suspicious red Mazda sedan and male occupant loitering in the street.

When officers caught up with the driver, they found his steering wheel had been replaced with a frying pan, and his number plate had been changed.

The metal pan has also been personalised: “Uncontrollable and driven to love only a beating heart”, reads the pan in white paint.

Officers discovered the modification in central Adelaide on Sunday morning when they spoke to the driver, whose vehicle was also allegedly unregistered and uninsured.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
