    The woman is reportedly denying the charges saying during voluntary questioning that she was not aware that the suitcase is a vehicle that requires a driver’s license.

    When you start to realize that there could be too many laws on the books.

    It has a max speed of 13 kph, that’s practically crawling. And she was on a sidewalk. This is just much ado about nothing

    She was scootin’ around on one of these. Here is another link, of Marques Brownlee giving specs and driving one.

      Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.
