James May admits 'breaking the law' with scooter as he almost 'knocks himself out on tree'
Top Gear star explained how he disregarded the “strict” rule due to a lack of space at home, thus failing to comply with the scooter’s legal requirements.He said: “As it is, I bought one in my fifties, a year and a half ago, and yes, I’ve been breaking the law.“Mine’s the Xiaomi Mi Pro 2, sold to me by Halfords on the strict understanding that it was for use only on privately owned land, but I don’t have any of that and riding it up and down the kitchen really annoys my missus.”James then revealed that he has been able to use the gadget on the road, as well as in bicycle lanes, and even on the pavement.But although the TV star has heaped praise on the vehicle, he also admitted he has had close calls after trying to speed over obstacles on the pavement.He said: “At some point I met a ridge or kerb that my Brompton would have handled easily, going at a fair lick, and for several yards I continued the journey sans scooter and relying entirely on one of Monty Python’s silly walks, with added jazz hands.“I was lucky not to knock myself out on a tree,” James concluded in a column for The Times.But this isn’t the first time The Grand Tour presenter has displayed a rebellious streak, as he previously confessed he would urinate on gravestones as a child.In a recent interview, James said he used to be a “little sh**” growing up as a schoolboy.The car enthusiast spent his teenage years in South Yorkshire, where he was a choirboy at Whiston Parish Church, Rotherham.Speaking on the Comfort Eating podcast, James gave fans an insight into his teenage antics.He said: “As choirboys we were a bunch of little sh*ts.

I mean, my mum went to the doctor and it was thought that she had an ovarian cyst.“He was called Dr Morrison, this Scottish GP, and he said, 'Mrs Myers, this is the biggest bl***y ovarian cyst I’ve ever seen!. You’re pregnant.'”At this point, Grace erupted into laughter, before Dave went on to explain that, because his mother was 41, she was told she couldn’t have children.“I mean that’s it, you were classed as a very geriatric mother by that point,” Grace pointed out.Dave went on to explain that his father was actually several years older than his mother, as he had already been married previously.He said: “So my dad was 55, but he was brilliant.
