Funny Drunk Story, Man Arrested Drunk Driving a Mobility Scooter
This is great, a couple of drunk friends get arrested for driving a mobility scooter home from a bar drunk one night!
From metro.co.uk:
A disabled man from Darlington has been arrested after he gave a lift to a friend on his mobility scooter while three times over the alcohol limit.
Nigel Lee Drummond was arrested after he was recorded by surveillance cameras weaving erratically through the streets of Darlington at 8mph after he and his friend left a local bar.
But because scooters do not count as cars under normal drink driving laws, Drummond was arrested under an obscure Victorian law – which bans being drunk in charge of a carriage.
Police warned that, while mobility scooters don’t go very fast, they can still pose a hazard to pedestrians and other road users. PC Kevin Salter of Darlington Police commented: ‘He was very drunk.’
Drummond was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £65 costs.

“Primal Scream’s keyboard player is the kind of man to shrug off most nights on the sauce. But in 1993, on a night out in New York, Duffy and fellow Screamer Robert Young ended the night at a New York bar. Duffy collapsed, drunk, at a table. Sometime later the barman pointed out to Young his companion was bleeding. Duffy had in fact been stabbed in the torso – but had no recollection as to how, or why, it had happened.” Maybe The Best Collection Of Drinking Stories Ever (From A Man Who Scared A Shark To Death, And Other Tales Of Drunken Debauchery) “A British comedian, on a drunken bet, once jumped into a shark tank naked, causing a shark to die from the stress of the incident.” Hey, I would suspect that the British look bad enough naked to kill someone-and it turns out to be true.
