Driver slides under bus to avoid a driving fine, causing traffic jam

A bus driver in China caused major congestion after he hid himself under his own vehicle to avoid being given a fine by police.

The man was stopped in Zhongshan, in China's Guangdong province, after he was caught speeding through a red light and carelessly switching lanes.

In a desperate attempt to escape being given a ticket, the driver slid past the officers and hid underneath his parked bus.

This, in turn, forced the police to spend time getting the man out from under the low-riding bus - as impatient motorists sat in ever-increasing traffic jams around the junction.

After failed attempts to talk the man out, the police called the fire brigade to tow the bus, but the threat only increased the unnamed man's resolve as he crawled along in time with the moving vehicle.

The police eventually managed to get him out from the narrow space by using force - grabbing his arms and pulling him out. He was later taken into custody.
