Couple on motorised scooters hold up traffic heading to Florida beach

An elderly couple have held up traffic heading to the beach in Florida by riding their electric scooters down the highway.

The pair were riding alongside each other with American flags prominently displayed on the unusual mode of transport.

They led a long line of cars crossing a bridge heading towards the beach in Navarre, Florida.

People are not required to have a licence to drive a scooter in the state and are not allowed to drive on footpaths.
