E-scooter rider caught on M5 near Bristol was 'following sat-nav on his first day at new job'

An e-scooter rider was stopped by amazed police who found him riding down the M5 near Bristol.

Police said the man had told them he was just following his sat-nav on his first day at a new job - and it told him to head southbound on the M5 between junction 17 for Cribbs Causeway and junction 18 for Avonmouth, so he did.

Not only was the e-scooter he was riding illegal anyway - it was privately owned and not part of the legal Voi e-scooter pilot scheme - but the rider didn't have a driving licence anyway.
