Quit honking at me, you whippersnappers!
A Milwaukee man got off with a warning Tuesday after tying up traffic on the interstate in a motorized wheelchair. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department says the 73-year-old man was traveling about 5 to 7 mph in the distress lane on Interstate 43. Motorists who were trapped behind him, tied up in traffic, called authorities and a sheriff's deputy caught up with him around 3 p.m. The man was headed to a doctor's appointment and took to the road after the transportation service that was supposed to pick him up failed to show. Wheelchairs aren't allowed on the interstate, but the sheriff's department gave the man a warning rather than a $159 ticket.
Turn signal blinking the entire way, I'll bet.
