A man lost his motor scooter after police noticed him driving
dangerously with a sack of potatoes lying on the foot rest, according to
police in the United kingdom.
West Yorkshire police said that on Saturday, the driver and the motor
scooter was seen to be riding at a high speed on Dudley Hill Road
towards Bolton Road.
He wasn’t displaying a plate on the rear of the scooter and was stopped
on Norman Avenue. The rider also had a large bag of potatoes resting
between his feet on the foot plate.
This bike and rider had been stopped by the same officer last month on
Wrose Road, for the same offenses. On that occasion, he had hedge
trimmers and a bag of washing detergent balancing on the foot rest.
A warning was given on that occasion, and he was stopped from riding
further. Sadly, the rider chose not to act on the advice given at that
time.
The bike was seized for the repeat driving license offense, and he was
also charged for using a vehicle for an unsuitable purpose.
He is scheduled to appear before a judge at the Bradford Magistrates Court.
“Clearly, he didn’t expect to be seen or stopped again, and so he
thought it was okay to ignore the police warning,” police wrote on
Facebook.
