CLAYTON, WI – Today in Wisconsin news. How to not transport your snowmobile.
Wisconsin State Patrol stopped a car with a snowmobile precariously perched on top of it on U.S. 63 near Clayton, Wisconsin in Polk County at about 1:20 p.m. on Sunday. A trooper witnessed the Polaris sled sitting perpendicular on the roof of the car.
“Folks don’t try this at home,” a tweet posted by the Northwest Region of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation said. “This isn’t a safe way to transport a snowmobile. If you’re transporting equipment this winter, you are advised to safely haul it secured on a trailer or in a truck.”
Matthew R. Schmit, 23, was issued a warning about the ill-advised hauling technique because he was “over width,” The Star Tribune reported. He was cited for failure to buckle up.
Schmit told the newspaper he had just purchases the snowmobile and was driving it over to a friend’s house to show him.
“I know it looks sketchy, but we had it strapped down and shook it,” he told the newspaper. “Up like in this kind of region, stuff like this gets seen all the time, but more like the back roads.”
