FLORIDA MAN DETAINED AFTER CLAIMING A BEACH UMBRELLA WOULD "BOOST MPG" ON HIS GOLF CART DURING HIGHWAY TRIP
FLORIDA MAN DETAINED AFTER CLAIMING A BEACH UMBRELLA WOULD "BOOST MPG" ON HIS GOLF CART DURING HIGHWAY TRIP FORT MYERS, FL — Motorists were left stunned after a Florida man allegedly drove a golf cart onto the interstate with a giant beach umbrella strapped upright behind the seats, claiming it acted as a wind-powered fuel saver. Police say 55-year-old Kevin Harper believed the afternoon sea breeze would help push the cart "the rest of the way home." According to witnesses, the umbrella caught several powerful gusts, causing the golf cart to lurch forward while wobbling across the emergency lane. Several drivers called 911 after seeing Harper steering with one hand and adjusting the umbrella with the other whenever the wind changed direction. When troopers pulled him over, Harper reportedly explained he had spent weeks "perfecting the aerodynamics" and insisted he was conducting an experiment that would "change transportation forever." Officers cited him for unsafe operation and driving a prohibited vehicle on the interstate. The golf cart was loaded onto a trailer, while the umbrella was folded down—bringing what police described as "Florida's shortest sailing season" to an end.
