A Kit Kat was the kulprit. A Maine motorist was ticketed for distracted driving after cops noticed chocolate on his fingers and an empty Kit Kat wrapper at his feet.

The driver admitted his inability to resist the crunchy candy bar caused him to cross over the center line.

Police advise drivers to reach their destinatio­n safely before they break off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.

Tony Edwards is the Mario Andretti of lawn mowers.

The British mechanical engineer souped up his riding mower so that it reached a speed of 143.19 mph — a world record, according to Guinness.

The lawn mower is powered by a Suzuki motorcycle engine but, to qualify for the record, is still able to cut grass.

An Ohio dad delivered dozens of kids to school in a limousine this week after their school bus failed to arrive one morning.

Sean Rogers Jr. of Columbus borrowed the ride from his father’s limo service. He drove 25 kids to school in style the first day and 42 the next day.

Columbus is one of many communitie­s struggling with a bus-driver shortage.

English gardeners broke a bevy of world records at this year’s National Giant Vegetables Championsh­ip.

The competitio­n boasted the world’s heaviest eggplant, at 6 pounds, 14 ounces; the weightiest marrow, or mature zucchini, which weighed in at more than 256 pounds; the globe’s heaviest fava-bean pod at 3.74 ounces; and the longest leek at 4 feet, 5.5 inches.

Pittsburgh Internatio­nal Airport put 10 cars up for auction after they’d been left in its parking garage for two years or more.

Their owners apparently drove to the terminal, flew to unknown destinatio­ns and never returned.

One problem: most of the cars are being sold without keys.
