This is the moment a man took air conditioning literally during Britain’s most recent heatwave by cooling off in a car with its boot wide open while driving along the M25.

Roksana Jasitczak, a passenger of a different car, spotted the man lying down in the back of the vehicle on Wednesday, June 3, when temperatures soared to 35C in the south of England. 

All the windows of the 56-plate VW Golf were also open, according to Ms Jasitczak, which was being driven along the 70mph M25 near Watford at Junction 19.

The man – who was not named – can be seen resting his head on a black bag as vans and cars whizzed past. 

Describing the bizarre scene, Ms Jasitczak said: ‘We were driving towards Watford.

‘We were on the fourth lane, this car was on the third lane and we just saw them with an open boot.

‘Once we started getting closer we realised there is a guy who looked like he is sleeping there so I started to record.

‘Some small rubbish was falling out of the car too but nothing major and later we overtook them and we didn’t see them anymore.’

But the man’s unusual method of keeping cool has since divided opinion among fellow road users.  

Sara Safdar said: ‘Ha ha, we saw him too today.’

Another – called Ruby – added: ‘Maximum airflow.’

But Jennifer Purdon fumed: ‘If another vehicle ran into the rear of his car, he’d be feeling more than hot.’
