Randy couple criticised over China motorway stunt

A motorway pile-up was only narrowly avoided in China after drivers' attention was drawn to a couple having sex in the back of a taxi.

Stunned motorists in eastern China seemed to take their eyes off the road when they realised what was going on in a nearby vehicle.

One driver even decided to film the incident and the footage has now been shown online, with the road user claiming the pair initially began kissing each other for some time.

"They soon got carried away and started having sex right there in the taxi … I saw at least ten near misses as drivers swerved to get a better look," the motorist is quoted as saying by the Metro.

Local police were not so amused by the couple's antics on the highway and suggested that they had put themselves and others at risk, while the driver of the taxi was advised that he should have stopped and removed the pair from his car.
