14 DAY TRIAL // An inventor from Texas has been credited with the Guinness Word Record for the Smallest Car in the World.
According to Metro, Austin Coulson's vehicle is the smallest car that you can actually drive on a road. His contraption is just 63.5 cm (25 in) tall, 65.41 cm (25.8 in) wide and 126.47 cm (50 in) long.
It's so tiny, that it barely stacks up to the tire level on a pick-up truck. Coulson built the car out of a baby’s pram and a quad bike.
He describes that nobody thinks he is legally allowed to drive it in the state, but there is no reason why he shouldn't.
“But there actually isn’t for law. People are pretty surprised. They just want to have their picture taken with it,” he says.
That doesn't mean that driving it in a busy area would be safe, with all the blind spots on regular-sized vehicles. In addition to that, reaching the maximum speed of 33 mph (53 kph) “feels like 100 mph (160 kph).”
