Here's the story.
PENSIONER Brian Rapley suffers so badly with arthritis that he can hardly walk.
And yet the 79-year-old, who is known as Basil, has been prosecuted for driving his mobility scooter at night.
The arthritic Army veteran was arrested on September 25, 2006, when police officers found him driving his electric mobility scooter along the middle of Manchester Road at 11pm with no lights on.
