With a top speed of 8mph, a mobility scooter is not the most ideal form of transport to take on a dual carriageway.
However, that is exactly the scenario that confronted police in Gloucestershire who encountered not one but TWO people riding pillion along the 70mph-speed limit A40.
The entire incident was captured in dashcam footage by officers who provided the bold road users with a safe escort, Gloucestershire Live reports.
This footage shows how slow the pillion-riding pair were moving.
Officers in an unmarked car were riding in front with a car behind as they trundled along the asphalt towards the Shell petrol station at Longford, near Gloucester.
In the tweet, Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Force Control Room said: “A video sent to us from our @tri_force colleagues from the A40 #Gloucester of an incident they have dealt with recently….. #keepingpeoplesafe comes in a variety of ways!"
