Talk about a blind spot: a driver of a semi-trailer was stopped by highway police in Hubei Province after traveling more than 100 kilometers with the entire windshield covered in plastic.The driver, surnamed Cheng, was halted at a toll station on the Hubei Erguang highway north of Xiangzhou after shocked traffic police caught sight of blocked windshield.Cheng’s only view of the road was through a 20-centimeter hole made from clear packing tape and his side view mirror, photos showed.Cheng told law enforcement he had been involved in a traffic accident in Jingmen, where he paid out 3,000 yuan ($480) – everything he had on him - in compensation.
