John's phone glows – wants to pay people to corral Mercedes

Four years ago, John Andersson cut too fast on the motorway. But it is only now that he has to do without the choir card. However, he cannot do without the car, so he is looking for a private driver.

John Andersson from Haderslev is looking for a private driver. The director of the company Upgrade It is not allowed to drive a car himself.

This is written by Avisen Danmark .

John Andersson was disqualified from driving because four years ago he drove 120 km/h on a stretch of motorway where the speed had been reduced to 80 km/h due to roadworks.

According to the newspaper, however, the police took a full three years to deprive the director of his rights, and since then John Andersson has spent a year fighting for his choir card.

But that didn't help at all. And for the next six months, John Andersson must not get behind the wheel. Therefore, the director is now looking for a private driver at DKK 200 per hour.

John Andersson admits one thing, however, that he hadn't thought about. He started the hunt for a driver on 1 April, so at first most people thought it was a joke.

But that, assures John Andersson, is not the case. And now there are more candidates for the job, which is approximately 25 hours a week spread over three days.

However, the man from Haderslev is not the only one with too many lucrative job offers. Two years ago, Preston Patterson landed possibly the world's coolest job in the world of cars. Read more about it here.
