MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - A Bavarian court on Thursday imposed a three-month driving ban on a man who was arrested drunk in charge of his motorised wheelchair.

The court in Munich said the ban applied to both his wheelchair and any other vehicle. It also gave the defendant a two-month suspended jail sentence.

The man was caught using his electric wheelchair while three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit. The court rejected the defence's plea that the motorised wheelchair did not qualify as a vehicle in a legal sense.
