Mobility scooter with 92-year-old driver pulled over on motorway
London - Arab Today
A 92-year-old man was stopped by British police on Sunday for driving his mobility scooter on a busy motorway.
The man was stopped on the M74 near Motherwell, southwest of Glasgow. The six-lane road is the main highway between Glasgow and England.
“Police received reports of a man driving a mobility scooter on the M74,” a Police Scotland spokeswoman said. “Police attended and the 92-year-old man was taken home by officers.”
Traffic on Britain’s motorways typically flows at the 70 miles (112 kilometers) per hour speed limit and they cannot be used by mobility scooters, agricultural vehicles, horses and cyclists among other slow movers.
Mobility scooters typically have a maximum speed of eight miles (12 kilometers) per hour.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
