A time-strapped man left drivers cackling after attempting to quickly dry his shorts by hanging them out the car window.
Raheel Usmani and his wife, Tamanna Janjua, were on their way out when he decided at the last minute that he wanted to change his outfit.
The 25-year-old barber quickly put a pair of shorts on for a quick wash, before clambering into the family car.

Securing the clothing on a hanger, he proceeded to open the window and let the wind do its job.
Cars beeped and pedestrians laughed as Raheel let his shorts dangle over the motorway.
“We were going to Little Hampden for a picnic as it was nice weather that day,” graphic designer, Tamanna, 24, told What’s The Jam.
“Raheel had a different outfit planned and then he decided he wanted to wear those shorts – last minute, as we were leaving.
“I put them on a quick wash for half an hour and obviously they were still wet.

“I said, if you wear something else, for now, they will dry.
“Next thing you know, he was holding them out — he decided to stick his whole arm out.
“We were driving for around an hour.

“Literally, everybody in the car was laughing.
“Other cars were laughing, too.
“People were recording and thought we were doing it on purpose, but we had no other option.
“He had some major strength because some roads were 60mph.
“The whole way there we were laughing about it and the whole way back we were laughing.
“Loads of people have said they’ve done the same thing.“
In a video of the hilarity, his family can be heard giggling in the background.
Tamanna posted the footage online with the caption: “When your husband decides he wanted to wear his shorts that just came out of the wash.”
The camera focuses on Raheel who is grinning as he holds out the spinning shorts.

A third person commented: “My friend did this with her shorts because she spilt coffee all over thewm but she stuck them almost fully out of the window and then rolled it up and they just flapped like a flag on the motorway.”
A fourth person added: “What event could possibly necessitate the shorts so much?”
