Perhaps to make up for the flatlands of Denmark, parents have been towing their kids on sleds behind cars

Police have issued a safety warning in Southern Jutland after receiving numerous reports of parents towing children on winter sleds behind their cars.

Reports have been coming in from residential areas in Vejen, Brørup, Bramming, Gram and Ribe of parents making up for the lack of snowy hills in the area.

‘Not only is it illegal, it’s also extremely dangerous,’ said police duty officer Bjørn Pedersen to JV.dk.

‘There’s absolutely no control on a sled when it is being pulled after a car. Those on the sled risk being dragged under the car or hitting a parked vehicle or kerb and being seriously injured.’
