Police are urging motorists against acting in a way that puts themselves or others in danger after a man was filmed taking a joy ride in a portaloo.
Video shared on social media shows a man sneak into the portaloo between sets of lights on Hewletts Rd, in Mount Maunganui..
The man, who was in the passenger seat, steps out of a car while waiting in traffic, then jumps into a portaloo on the back of a trailer in front.
The vehicle then pulls away as the lights change, before coming to a stop again at traffic lights a short time later.
The man reemerged and ran back to his vehicle.
The man involved told 1 NEWS it was quite "pleasant" but some "music" might have made the journey more enjoyable.
Although he concedes it "wasn't at a concert".
Police told 1 NEWS they were not a aware of the incident.
"Without knowing more about the circumstances, it's not really something we can provide comment on, except to urge people not to act in a way that may put themselves or other road users at risk," a spokeswoman said.
