Photo: Florida driver straps lawn mower to car roof, drives on I-10

A photo posted to Twitter shows a lawn mower strapped to the top of a car driving down I-10 in Florida on Saturday.

T.K. Waters, assistant chief with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, said he took the photo on I-10 westbound near Pensacola.

He posted it to Twitter with the caption "#unbelieveable."

Several people said the driver should be arrested.

A woman who identified herself as one of the people who strapped it to the car responded on Facebook.

She said they strapped it to the car to have a 'toy to play on out at trucks gone wild.'

"If you feel I should be arrested then your stupid," she said. "Its strapped down not going anywhere. Please tell me what is wrong with doing this. Are you driving the car? No you are not. Don't worry about what I do. It was more funny that we even got the lawn mower so to the next person who has a problem with what I do for my family what bill will you be paying !! Again yes I had that on my car to have a toy to play on out at trucks gone wild."

She went on to say it was a 'you only live once' moment.

"I was not for it at first but we promise my son something to ride," she said. "Why not be the first person to be different? We found it funny and had fun. It was a you only live once moment."

Not sure this is what is meant by a 'ride-on' lawn mower. This car was spotted driving down I-10 in Florida today: http://bit.ly/2eFcs5k
