Many parents dream of the day they can indulge in a few pints and ask their child to pick them up from the pub.
But for one inventive dad, that moment came a little sooner than expected – after letting his little boy tow him home on a trailer behind an electric car. The mini-motorist and his very trusting passenger was spotted in the centre of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, last Sunday by bemused passers-by.

The dad is sitting on a chair on top of the trailer and can be see pushing the button on a pedestrian crossing before the pair cross a busy road. The pair then wait on at the opposite pelican crossing, before driving onto a pavement to continue their comical journey home.
Witness Wayne Nuttall, 47, said: ‘I was having a pint in my social club and popped out to have a cigarette. I looked across the road and saw this little chap driving his dad home.
‘The dad was on a trailer at the the back of the car and was being towed by his son. I thought it was a really comical moment. It was like something out of South Park.’
Wayne, a train ticket inspector, added: ‘I put the video on a local Facebook group and joked that the lad was probably taking his dad home from the pub.
‘But I have since been told that the dad and son had been in the local carnival procession the previous day. It seems the car was based on a mobility scooter which he had converted for £250. In the video you can see that the dad has a remote control in his hand and his controlling it.’
The video was first posted on the Bognor Regis Forum page on Facebook. Nikki Hall commented: ‘The dads actually in Control of the cart and car saw him on way to carnival I think it’s a fab idea.’
