Motorists almost met their portaloo on roads

A portaloo, an oven, and even a boat were among some of the unusual sights which perplexed motorists met on the roads in the past year.

According to AA Roadwatch, it also received calls about angry swans, a raging bull, and fox cubs blocking the paths of drivers.

Rebecca Horan of AA Roadwatch said a man called the organisation after spotting a Silver Cruise motorboat anchored in the middle of the N11, which probably fell off the back of a lorry.
