In the above picture and the video you can have a look at the man controlling the vehicle, he was seen wearing a black-and-beige car seat costume and holding the steering wheel so low that no onlooker could have caught his treachery.
Tuss then added, “I looked out and I said, ‘Oh my God, there’s a guy in a seat costume. How’s that possible? Your brain can’t get around it for a second.”
Post this, when Tuss tried to question the man, he simply drove off on a yellow signal recklessly.
