Coming off what is widely known as the silly season, it seems some may have kept the “silly” far too long.

In Brisbane, Australia last week, a frustrated forklift driver took matters into his own hands when he used his forklift to move a car which had been parked in a disabled parking space inside a shopping centre car park.

The car did not appear to display a disability permit allowing it to park legally in the space. It was relocated by the forklift to a road outside of the shopping centre where it appeared to show damage to the side of the car.

A shopper who witnessed the incident posted a video of the forklift and car online, sparking an immediate debate with many praising his actions while others were angry he felt justified in acting that way.

A similar act happened in the UK, also last week, when a forklift was spotted relocating a VW Tiguan parked in a no parking zone in front of the driveway of a business yard.

Onlookers noted the car's alarm was activated by the move and the forklift and driver disappeared from the scene immediately after.

Meanwhile, over in North Korea, leader King Yong-Un has demonstrated how not to operate a forklift safely when he offered a group of people a lift on the tynes of a forklift he was driving.

Images released by KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) show King Yong-Un operating the forklift as he inspected a memorial being constructed for North Korean troops.

Standing on the tynes of the forklift are, reportedly, the leader’s daughter Ju Ae with a number of government officials.
