Car with snowmobile on roof stopped in Wisconsin

For anybody unsure of how to transport a snowmobile, putting it on the roof of a vehicle isn’t a good way.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation said a Minnesota-registered vehicle was stopped Sunday on U.S. Highway 63 in Polk County for driving with a snowmobile strapped onto its roof.

The department urged anyone hauing equipment like a snowmobile this winter to safely do so by securing it on a trailer or in a truck.

Folks, don’t try this at home. Our State Patrol friends stopped this vehicle Sunday on US 63 in Polk County because 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. pic.twitter.com/2LLHbew529
