Canadian Segway Driver Fined $8000
From http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/natio...y_041004.html:
Quote:
NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. - An Ontario man is determined to fight $8,000 worth of fines he faces for driving his high-tech Segway scooter on the road in the southern Ontario city of Niagara Falls.
At first, Pierre LeFeuvre thought police were joking when they pulled him over in early September for motor-vehicle violations including:
- Driving without a licence.
- Driving without insurance.
- Making an illegal left turn.
To his knowledge, Segways are not considered motor vehicles. He couldn't get a licence if he tried, which he did after police stopped him. People at the motor vehicle registry laughed when he asked about applying for a Segway driver's licence, said LeFeuvre.
