Cocky Land Rover driver stuck knee-deep in mud begs farmer for help

South Yorkshire Police

A land Rover driver was left embarrassed after having to "beg a local farmer to help" pull him out of a particularly boggy patch of a field he was driving to navigate across.

Sheffield North West Neighbourhood Policing Team posted pictures of the Land Rover stuck in the mud on its Facebook page.
The driver got stuck in a field near Sheffield and received a warning from police, reports Yorkshire Live.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "The driver of this Land Rover was 'stuck' for words when he was issued with a warning for antisocial driving under the Police Reform Act after he was found knee-deep in mud on this green lane.

"The green lane in this photo is well known to responsible off-road drivers as a boggy mess with deep ruts and impassable features, however some find the challenge too alluring.
