Man stopped for speeding in wheelchair

The subject says it all. Now that's a ticket I'd be proud to get.

This story isn't even anywhere close to being funny--it's pathetic. Especially since the p[olice confiscated the chair.

The guy is an engineer who suped-up his wheelchair to do 40mph. He knew what he was getting into. I'm sure he's totally psyched that he got the ticket - in spite of the inconvenience of having it confiscated.

This article indicates he'd been stopped twice. Which is probably why it was confiscated.

As an engineer myself, I will bet that he's bragging to all his friends.

Wonder if they have a seat belt law in Germany and whether he was wearing his?
