He was knocked into the water and cut his back.
The driver of the scooter, believed to be between 70 and 80 years old, failed to stop. Suffolk police are appealing for witnesses.

I hope they catch this woman and get her side of the story!! Was it an accident or malicious?
If guilty of a crime then she should not be allowed to drive/ride a mobility scooter!
What do you think should be a suitable punishment??

Can you be charged with being drunk in charge of a scooter?

Yes... under the 1872 Licensing Act. This law still creates an offence of being drunk in public and of being drunk in charge of a carriage

How do the Suffolk Police explain to their Chief that they have been unable to track down an elderly driver on a mobility scooter - Subaru wasn't up to it Sir!
