Ansbach (dpa) - The police stopped an 85-year-old at Ansbach who was traveling with a motorized wheelchair on federal highway 13.
A police spokesman said on Monday that it is not forbidden to use a so-called hospital elevator on a federal highway.
However, the senior had caused a traffic jam on the route from Ansbach to Gunzenhausen on Sunday and was noticed by his unsafe driving style.
In addition, it was difficult to see for drivers because of the darkness.
When the police stopped the man, they found that he had very poor hearing. A passerby then took him home by car. The police handed over the hospital elevator to relatives of the 85-year-old. The police spokesman couldn't say where the man was going.
