Owen Sound Police are out with a reminder about mobility scooters after responding to an impaired driving incident. After being educated on impaired driving laws and the legal consequences of operating a mobility scooter while impaired, the male agreed to leave the scooter parked and make alternate arrangements,” Owen Sound Police say in a release. “Officers located the male a short distance away in the middle of the roadway consuming an alcoholic beverage,” Owen Sound Police say. Police say the man failed a roadside screening test, and was then arrested and transported to the Owen Sound Police Service building for further testing. Owen Sound Police say the incident serves as a reminder mobility scooters are considered motor vehicles under the criminal code, and impaired driving laws apply like any other car.
