DRUNK SCOOTER DRIVER

A WOMAN ON A MOBILITY SCOOTER WITH A TOP SPEED OF 2.4 MILES AN HOUR WAS ARRESTED FOR . . . DRUNK DRIVING???

Do you know what a mobility scooter is? If not, they're those motorized scooters that elderly and disabled people use to get around. Anyway, last November, 46-year-old Amanda Leaff of Stretford, England was out doing some shopping at her local grocery store. But it seems Amanda was a little drunk and a little short on cash. So to save herself the taxi fare . . . Amanda decided to "borrow" a mobility scooter that belonged to the store, in order to make the ten-mile trip home.


The only problem was that two-and-a-half miles into her trip, a police officer spotted Amanda, quote, "driving erratically" and pulled her over.


But get this: Amanda wasn't arrested for stealing the mobility scooter. She was arrested for operating the scooter . . . which has a top speed of 2.4 miles per hour . . . while intoxicated. (???)

On Tuesday, Amanda was given a $350 fine . . . and her license was revoked for 20 months. (Daily Mail)
