A police force facing savage budget cuts has announced a crackdown on the menace of the mobility scooter driver.

Officers have launched a course to combat the scourge of the lawless silver-haired scooter rider as the number of accidents on the roads rise.

They may not be joyriding teenagers any more, but officers say pensioners on mobility scooters can be just as dangerous with many being caught drunk or high on prescription drugs behind the wheel.

Norfolk Police are calling for a nationwide testing scheme because people are able to drive mobility scooters at the top speed of 8 mph without any training

Norfolk Police are now running lessons to teach users the rules of the road.

Riders learn to navigate their way over ramps, through slalom runs and across zebra crossings.

They are also taught how to master the shopping run, negotiating around cones which represent supermarket aisles.

Didn't he have a supercharged mobility scooter?

And was jailed for exceeding 12 mph in it on a motorway?

(Silly me - no motorways to the East of Cambridge)

There used to be a public crapper in Norwich that had goldfish in the cistern.

I bet not a lot of people know that.
