On 07-27-2018 at approximately 0122 hours, Trooper Scott Harakles of Troop G stopped a motorized scooter operating on the Maine Turnpike at mile marker 3 northbound in Kittery without headlights.
The 26-year-old male from Massachusetts stated that he had traveled from New Bedford, Massachusetts using his cell phone as a headlight. The operator did not have a valid drivers’ license, and the scooter was not registered. Thankfully, he was stopped after traveling only a couple miles into Maine as he was very difficult to see at night without lights.
Just a reminder that mopeds and motorized scooters are prohibited on the Maine Turnpike.
