Man caught using shoelaces to control wipers during storm.

As we move on to the next page, let's take a look at this bizarre story that has left police officers in shock. While on patrol over the weekend, Staffordshire Police pulled over an uninsured driver and were surprised to see that his windscreen wipers were being operated by shoe laces. Yes, you read that right - shoe laces! The force shared a video of the unusual DIY fix, which was discovered during Storm Bert's rampage on Saturday.

The Staffordshire Police's Road Crime Team couldn't help but share their disbelief, stating that while it may seem creative to use shoe laces to manually operate broken wipers, it is definitely not acceptable. The driver not only faced punishment for his unroadworthy car, but also for lacking a license and insurance - taking the situation to a whole new level. The vehicle was promptly seized and the driver was reported for using a vehicle without proper documentation and in a dangerous condition.

This incident comes after another shocking event during Storm Bert, where a man was arrested for criminal damage and dangerous driving after driving a tractor through floodwater in Worcestershire. The 57-year-old has been released on bail while authorities continue their investigation into the incident that occurred in Tenbury on Sunday. According to business owners in the town, the waves caused by the tractor not only smashed windows of already flooded premises, but also worsened the situation for areas that were protected by sandbags.

As the cleanup efforts continue for many Brits affected by Storm Bert, the country is now facing the possibility of more flooding as Storm Conall takes over. The new storm is set to bring more rain to southern Britain and beyond on Tuesday night, with up to 50mm expected in some parts of southern England. The Met Office has issued a new weather warning for rain, and has advised people to stay alert and prepared for potential floods.
