Police catch woman drunk-driving on a 2.4 mph scooter

A woman has been given a driving ban after being caught more than twice the legal alcohol limit - while riding a 2.4mph mobility scooter.

Amanda Leaff, 46, said she had taken the buggy from an Asda supermarket to save herself the taxi fare for her trip home.

A court was told yesterday how it would have taken Leaff, of Stretford, Manchester, more than four hours to complete the ten-mile journey, had she not been spotted 'driving erratically' by an off-duty police officer.

She would have sobered up by the time she made it home on that scooter. A riding lawnmower would have been her best bet.

Those grocery store buggies end up with dead batteries really fast, and she wouldn't have gotten home at all.

I wonder why she wasn't charged with taking the scooter
