An Australian who had his driver's licence suspended found a unique way to get around the issue.
In a video shared on social media, Shane Swanscott is seen driving a mobility scooter along a highway in New South Wales, towing a dinghy before he is pulled over by a police patrol car.
He told 9News the officers slowed as they passed him, before eventually rounding the corner and pulling him over.
"I lost my licence and pretty much finished working on my boat at the same time. I was going to push my boat down the street by hand, but I thought why not use [the mobility scooter]," he said.

He has not been told what punishment he will receive for being caught without his licence.
The man says he and his girlfriend Keira have been using the scooter to get around locally since his licence was revoked.
