Tailgating is generally considered an aggressive driving behavior, but one man did it for a completely different purpose, and disrupting traffic in a completely different way.

In the Chinese city of Mianyang in Sichuan Province, a father was seen driving slowly on a busy road behind his 1-year-old son who was driving a toy car. The two were blocking the lanes, causing other cars to pass around them and drive into the opposite side of the road. After local police received reports from witnesses, they fined the man 200 yuan ($30), according to major Chinese online news outlet KNews.
