Wrong-way golf cart driver stopped on Phoenix-area freeway

PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say a man drove a golf cart the wrong way on a suburban Phoenix highway and wouldn't stop for police until he was boxed in by an officer on a motorcycle.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety said in a statement Thursday that the 83-year-old golf cart driver was confused after he was stopped at about 5:30 a.m. and told troopers he thought he was leaving a meeting.

No one was hurt. Troopers took the man home and released him to the custody of his wife.

The statement says the man was stopped by authorities for a similar situation in July.
KNXV-TV reported that the man had been driving a golf cart on another suburban Phoenix highway.

I was thinking they took his car away to be safe,.. and he said damn them I want my wheels. So he hopped on his golf cart to take the last hurrah early morning ride,.. and show them he could still boogie.

Lucky it was 5am and not during rush hour or some busy period of heavy driving.
