Amputee granddad fined £130 after authorities confuse 8mph mobility scooter for Porsche
‘A granddad who recently had a leg amputated is fighting a road fine after his 8mph mobility scooter was mistaken for a 180mph Porsche.
Disabled divorcee Richard Sullivan, from Bristol, received a notice from Transport for London (TfL) for allegedly driving a £100,000 (US$125,000) Porsche Targa down a one-way street.
But the 63-year-old says he hasn’t been to London in 40 years and hasn’t been allowed to drive for two years due to his health.
Sullivan believes the mix-up came about because the number plate of his silver TGA Breeze mobility scooter is similar to that of the Porsche shown in TfL’s CCTV picture.’
