Police arrested a man for drink driving after he nearly collided with a group of diners while riding a motorised scooter in South Brisbane on Australia Day evening.
It will be alleged around 10pm police witnessed the man riding the scooter without a helmet along the Grey Street footpath before he nearly struck a table of patrons outside of a restaurant.
He then allegedly attempted to continue to ride away before nearly falling over as police called for him to stop.
The 23-year-old Caboolture man was arrested and transported to Brisbane City watchhouse where he allegedly returned a BAC of 0.151% – more than three times the legal limit.
He was charged with not wearing a helmet and drink driving and is due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on February 19.
Police would like to remind people who choose to ride electronic scooters that drink driving laws apply, as with cars and other vehicles.
