Colin Furze and his flame-throwing scooter – Click above to watch the video after the break<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nPublic Service Announcement: Apparently, it is illegal to mount a reverse-pointing flame thrower on the back of a scooter in the United Kingdom. Who knew? Not our man Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Furze created a wicked awesome video of himself and the scooter, which allegedly showed him using the two-wheeler on the highway with the flame thrower attached. Want to see for yourself? Done. Click on past the break<\/a>. Police spotted the videos on the Interwebs and promptly arranged to meet up with him.<\/p>\n

According to Lincolnshire Police, “A man was arrested on suspicion of possessing an object converted to a firearm on Thursday. He was released on unconditional bail.” That man is reported to be none other than Furze. Maximum penalty if found guilty? A prison sentence of five to seven years at Crown Court. What kind of world do we live in when an “anti-tailgating” flame thrower lands a man in jail?<\/p>\n
