Cabbie Invents Hands-Free Umbrella

Any woman who has tried holding an umbrella in the rain while texting or rummaging around their handbag will know what a struggle it can be.

But according to The Daily Mail Reporter, a cabbie hopes he has solved the problem – and found a lucrative invention – by producing a hands-free umbrella.

Observant Ibrar Ahmed, 27, had the brainwave after watching dozens of his women passengers fight their way through the rain.

The invention is a strap that allows an umbrella to be attached to a handbag and stay upright and still.
