You Think This 85 Year Old Guy Who Hopped On The Highway On His Wheelchair Scooter Gives A Fuck?

 

Mirror- A daredevil pensioner trundles along the hard shoulder of a busy motorway – on his 12mph mobility scooter. The 85-year-old was caught on camera on the M1 steering one-handed, oblivious as 40-ton juggernauts thundered by. Trucker Steve Saxon, whose colleague filmed the man, said: “I’ve been driving lorries since 1986 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything as bizarre.” The pensioner, whose name has not been revealed, joined the motorway at junction 31 near Sheffield, one of the motorway’s most congested stretches. He was eventually escorted up the junction 32 slip road by a police officer on a motorcycle. Steve added: “He was casually dressed and quite relaxed. He was completely unfazed about the traffic.

 

Nope.  He doesn’t.  Not a single fuck given here.  Because once you pass the age of 80 everything melts away, including laws and the realization that taking a scooter that travels at 12 MPH isn’t a great idea.  What do you mean I can’t take my scooter on the highway?  Don’t you know I’m passed the age where I care about what anybody has to think?  He’s probably most confused as to why there’s a cop escorting him off the highway.  Ridin’ dirty like you read about.  In this case that means he has a big ol’ dump in his depends.  Causally dressed and quite relaxed.  That’s what the article says.  Unfazed by the cars whizzing by him at speeds 5x as fast as he was going.  God forbid I live to be 85 (sounds terrible) but if I do, I want to be this guy.  Free as a bird.
