Life in the slow lane

A 90-year-old pensioner had to be rescued from the hard shoulder of a motorway after he took a wrong turn on his electric scooter.

Concerned motorists called police when they saw the man on the westbound hard shoulder of the M27 near Whiteley, Hampshire this afternoon plodding along at 5mph.

A police spokeswoman said the confused man got lost after travelling on the scooter from his home in Locksheath to a shopping centre in Whiteley.

Don't knock it. I know how the old guy feels.

Had he joined the M25 , or M80 roadworks) , he'd probably pissed people off by undertaking them?
