A Taranaki disqualified driver is advising other banned
motorists to stay away from anything with a motor, after
being caught driving a golf cart beside a road.
A passing police officer stopped Waitara spray painter
Quintin Loveridge while driving in a friend's golf cart ona
grass verge and asked to see his licence, the Taranaki Daily
News reported.
Loveridge, who had been suspended from driving after
collecting too many demerit points, told the officer he
wasn't aware the grass classed as a road, or the cart -- with
a top speed of around 10kph -- was classed as a motor
vehicle.
But he received a further three months' disqualification.
Loveridge warned other banned drivers to stick to their
push-bikes.
"Be aware you can drive nothing with a motor. Stick to the
pedals," he said.
