Who hasn't driven off with something on the roof of their car before?

Kinda shows how much attention most drivers are paying though.

How the hell do you accidentally drop road spikes

Inspector Jim Wilson said officers put the "Tactical Deflation Device" (TTD) on the roof of their car to make room for a man they were arresting.

But they forgot to put the spikes back and they fell across several lanes of the Southern Motorway near Greenlane.
