Poisonous snake refuses to budge from car windscreen
How do you remove a snake from a car? That is the dilemma
faced by two Australian men after they spotted a highly poisonous
red-bellied black snake on the windscreen of their vehicle.
The pair, who were driving near Brisbane, pull over as they try
to decide how to get rid of the dangerous reptile.
"Do we hit the wipers? I don't want to hurt him," the driver
can be heard saying as they film the snake on a mobile phone.
But the wiper removal strategy is quickly abandoned after the
snake is swept back and forth across the glass prompting shouting
and swearing inside the car.
The snake then slithers onto the side mirror of the vehicle and a
long the passenger window ledge, tapping its head against the glass.
"Who do you ring?" the passenger wonders, before shuddering: "Imagine
if we had the windows open."
"I don't know what to do," the driver confesses as they begin driving
again to try to shake the reptile off.
The red-bellied black snake finally loses its grip and falls onto the
road, to cheers from inside the car.
"He's gone!" the passenger yells, advising his friend to sound his horn
to warn oncoming vehicles of the snake on the highway.
The red-bellied black snake is highly poisonous but while a bite is
rarely fatal, it can cause blot clots and muscle and nerve damage.
