Strange Traffic Offence
Not exactly a 2-wheel story, but one of the funniest I've read in Spain.
This news article appeared late 2006 and you've got to give the guy credit for being 'resourceful'.
The Spanish newspaper Ideal Gallego reports today on one of the strangest traffic offences ever to be seen in Spain when drivers were surprised to see a motorised bed travelling along the motorway in Ferrol. It happened last Friday when a disabled man was seen travelling along the road in his motorised bed.
The paper says that 42 year old Antonio Navarro, who is 95% disabled, and who drives and controls his motorised bed with his mouth, had got drunk and was intending to visit ‘Jade’ a local whorehouse, but took a wrong turning off a local roundabout.
Police finally stopped him at 9pm after he had travelled some 10 kilometres along the motorway. Once he had taken the wrong exit he decided to continue along the road so as not to put other drivers in danger. Antonio told the paper that signs should be improved on the roundabout and across the town.
