A motorist has managed to capture the moment a bizarre act of car surfing takes place on a busy urban road.
According to Nine News, the footage was captured in Fairfield, Sydney, on Monday.
The 30-second clip shows a man, dressed in jeans, a vest over a T-shirt and a yellow hat, crouching and then standing atop a white Honda CR-V SUV.
The man occasionally stands upright atop the vehicle, gesturing to oncoming traffic.
The man gestures at oncoming traffic while he stands up before crouching back down to regain his balance.
No one was injured in the incident.
NSW Police has been contacted for comment.
The state government held a parliamentary inquiry into car surfing back in 2003.
Video has emerged of the car surfer standing and sitting on the roof of a moving vehicle.
He also squats back down to regain his balance.
Information on the Parliament of NSW website calls car surfing “a dangerous activity of vehicle occupants (typically young people) that can cause severe injuries or death”.
“Sometimes this is done as a game or challenge to see who can stay on the longest and land on your feet when the car or ute suddenly stops or turns,” the website continues.
A teenager was injured in a car surfing incident in Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast in April 2021.
