Wheelie Cool: Grandma Whizzes Through Skate Park on Mobility Scooter as Lockdown Lifts

A rebellious grandmother in Broxburn, Scotland, celebrated her first time leaving the house in months with a trip to a skate park on her mobility scooter, footage from June 2 shows.

Scotland has kept its lockdown rules for vulnerable people in place even though in England and Wales, everyone has been allowed to leave their homes as of June 1, provided they maintain strict social distancing.

“It was her first time out in four months, as she had to self-isolate because she has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with an oxygen tank on the back of her scooter,” Amy Penman told Storyful. Credit: Amy Penman via Storyful
