Couperman Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I saw this on a local newspaper site today The A19 tees flyover is one of the busiest roads on Teesside and quite scary in a car never mind one of these! http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2008/04/23/disability-scooter-stopped-by-police-on-a19-84229-20802540/ I had to laugh though, all's well that ends well Kev.

Couperman Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I hate driving on that flyover in my car, how he felt safe in his scooter god only knows! Thanks Kev, that's brightened up my evening! I know, he must have been terrified! The funny part of the article for me was the guy last year who gave the Police the slip in a low speed chase Kev.

Scooby Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 OMG, I can't believe this. That flyover is the bain of my life, you need four pairs of eyes in a car, goodness knows why that chap even contemplated it on a scooter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Oh dear. He obviously feels a great deal of freedom with his scooter, but some things are just not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Awww, bless. There's a little old lady with a floppy hat, who drives one of those around Banbury... on the road. The police are always advising her that she oughtn't to be on the road with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 we've got lots of elderly scooter drivers in our area........I saw one the other week who was trying to negotiate a very large roundabout that's scary enough in a car let alone a scooter There were needless to say lots of swerving cars and luckily they made it to the hospital turning......I assume that must have been where were heading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
