Nothing to see here, just a gentleman commuting at 5mph

  1. Poor guy. He might not have the capacity to understand the danger he’s in.

  2. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s safe or the sane thing to do.

  3. I turned the sound on for this fully expecting to hear Holding Up The Bypass.

  4. The fact he has no amber flashing light means he’s breaking the law. That he *could* theoretically use a scooter perfectly legally on a dual carriageway is madness, though.

  5. Please tell us that you called the police and reported it.

  6. Not up to date on laws/legislation around these scooters on certain roads.

    I imagine this is a 70mph road?

    I hope police were called, not necessarily to punish, but to safely remove the dangers from him and others if he hasn’t capacity, safeguarding would be put in place.

    If he has his marbles, punishment accordingly.

  7. You judgemental arseholes! Poor chap just got a text to his big button phone –

    *Come over babe, my carers are out for the evening…*

  8. Once saw this on blundson hill coming out of Swindon on the A417.

    Everybody there knows you speed up, as you’re getting away from Swindon, and I was on a bus but in front of us all the brake lights came on, people swerved into other cars and there was this old dear meandering into traffic without a care in the world.

  9. Good on the trucker, hope his boss understood why he’s gonna be a tad late

  10. Hope you called the police to let them know, he may have dementia or other memory issues and have no idea where he is or the danger he is in. Police need to keep him safe until his family can be contacted. If he is healthy, police still need to deal with him for the safety of everyone on the road.

  11. I’m mean, it’s not a motorway. Is this not perfectly legal?

  12. That lorry driver is a hero, was hopefully on the phone to law enforcement while he was protecting this vulnerable person

  13. It is legal for him to drive it on a dual carriage if he had an amber flashing light on the back, which is crazy as they are restricted to about 8 miles an hour

  14. On the opposite end of the scale, I was in Leicester city centre today and I saw a woman in a motability buggy being reprimanded by the police for driving at excessive speed and without due care and attention 🤣

  15. That driver being the best advert  British gypsum could have paid for.

  16. “you wanna slow it down, speed camera up here” this made me laugh a lot harder than it should have

  17. Fucking Lexmark piece of shit (please say someone gets this reference…)

  18. ive seen this quite a few times with my own eyes, i wonder why they do it lmao

  19. Maybe the lorry driver has contacted the police and is trying to keep him safe until they can intercept safely.

  20. Round of applause for the lorry driver please. 👍🤗

  21. It’s very depressing to live in a country that will essentially be a giant retirement carehome within the next ten years.

  22. Guy better move or the only thing he’ll be driving is a hospital bed

  23. Man in the lorry thinking “fuckin hell man this geezer making me work here”

  24. I thought there was a Lima sticking its head out the front of the white van

  25. Why are all these local news papers websites always full of ads popups and never render properly on a phone
