Video: Bloke uses his face as an exhaust emissions tester

Updated



The stuff that comes out the back of your car can look pretty disgusting, and we fully approve of all efforts to test what is there, and limit the damage where possible.

However, if you don't have an approved emissions testing kit to hand then what would you use to see how much gunk your truck is chucking out? An old shirt? You mum's best cushions? An old copy of a Sunday tabloid newspaper? Given the harmful nature of exhaust emissions, it is certain to say that what we would leave right at the bottom of the list is any part of our body, least of all our face.

But that is just what this future candidate for a Darwin award chose to do, even going so far as to put a piece of tape on his forehead to see just how filthy he ended up. That makes the experiment scientific of course...

Check out the rather inevitable results of his test on the video below.
