Mobility scooter towing caravan along road leaves driver ‘crying with laughter’

Onlookers were left stunned after spotting a mobility scooter hauling a caravan through a seaside town.

Video of the unusual towing method, captured in Rhyl, North Wales, shows the electric mobility scooter pulling the touring caravan along the road, with a single rope connecting the two.

Another person’s feet can be spotted underneath the mobile home, walking along the other side as it is slowly hauled down the street.

The scooter and its large load travel at a snails pace close to the pavement as other vehicles overtake it, North Wales Live reports.

Casey Hulme, 24, captured the clip after spotting the scooter and its driver, a boy believed to be in his ‘late teens’.

In the footage, Casey, from Prestatyn, can be heard laughing as she filmed.

She was reported by MailOnline as saying: “I was on my way home with my friend and I saw the boy on the mobility scooter trying to pull out of a junction. I turned the car around and we parked on a street off the main road the guy was going down with the caravan and watched them go past.

“I think my reaction on the video speaks for itself. We were crying with laughter.”

Mobility scooters can travel at up to 8mph on British roads in certain conditions.

The Gov.uk website states: ‘You do not need a licence to drive a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair, but you may have to register it as only certain types can be driven on the road.’

Class 2 invalid carriages are not for road use unless there is no pavement.

They have a 4mph maximum speed limit and do not need to be registered.

Meanwhile, Class 3 invalid carriages are allowed on the road with a maximum speed of 8mph, or 4mph when off-road.

Since being shared on social media, Casey’s video has attracted 1.4 million views.

Casey added: “I found it funny but I didn’t expect it to blow up this much. It’s crazy”.

There have also been lots of comments on the clip.

Rhys Williams said: “This is what happens when you go away for a weekend and you don’t want to take the car because of the fuel prices.”

Sarah Kate said: “I really need to know how this ended. I mean he’s gonna stop – but that caravan ain’t.”

Another, Kevin Saxon, added: “You couldn’t make this up”, while Sue Hughes said: “I love being from Rhyl, there is never a dull moment.”
