POLICE IN Australia charged a man for drink driving in a motorised wheelchair after he was found to be six times over the legal alcohol limit.
Police in the northern city of Cairns said the man was so drunk he was asleep at the controls of his wheelchair in a turning lane of a major road.
“It beggars belief,” Police Inspector Bob Walters told the Cairns Post newspaper, adding that wheelchairs, bicycles, horses and skateboards were all considered to be vehicles under the state’s laws.
