It comes as earlier this month an OAP was stopped and rescued by police after driving down a busy road on his mobility scooter.
The pensioner was spotted traveling along the 70mph road in his vehicle, which has a top speed of only 8mph.
After receiving a call on November 29, the Derbyshire Roads Policing Unit was scrambled to the scene, where they found the man near the entry slip road that leads onto the A38 from the roundabout next to the Royal Derby Hospital and Aldi in Mickleover, Derby.
