Mobility Scooter Sighting 05 - Bricklayers Arms, Shrewsbury

The healing powers of a trip to the pub are legendary in Shropshire, this seemingly disabled man leaped out of his mobility scooter at the first whiff of this popular boozer. Perhaps more research should be conducted on this Biblical style of phenomenon. It's always disconcerting to see cars parked outside pubs, I often wonder how many beers have the drivers consumed, and what are the drink driving laws regarding Mobility Scooters? What I do know is that if they pay road tax they are allowed to go on a public highway at up to 8mph, but if they do not pay road tax then they are only allowed to go pavements at 4mph. As far as I know they are the only vehicle in Britain to be allowed on pavements and roads, not bicycles have that privilege.
