An electric scooter rider said he was not aware he was committing a crime drink-driving while he was banned for drink driving in a car. Kamil Brzozowski, 36, of Norwich Garden, Bulwell, was a disqualified driver at the time which meant riding the scooter was illegal.
Brzozowski told magistrates in Nottingham how he jumped on his £360 scooter to pick up some food ingredients for "my Mrs" in the middle of the night. In the darkness he did not see a little pothole in the pavement, which he hit and toppled over the steering bars.
Brzozowski cracked his skull on the pavement and fractured his cheekbone. He was found unconscious just before midnight in Alfreton Road, Nottingham, on June 20, last year. An ambulance was called to Brzozowski.
