When Donald E. Davis woke up in the hospital after his motorized wheelchair collided with a car, he noticed something disturbing - two traffic tickets on his chest.
"It's ridiculous," said the paraplegic man, who lost his legs 21 years ago in a train accident. "I have lived here for eight years and police have seen me driving it all around town - to the store and to doctor's appointments - and they never gave me a ticket until someone backed into me."
Bradenton Police Officer T. Moore cited Davis on Sept. 24 for not having a light on his wheelchair after dark, and for refusing to sign the ticket.
Now Davis is going to court over the matter.
