If transportation, in the year 2011, didn't require a car; then why did this elderly man break the law?

If the analogy between car insurance and health care was remoting correct, every roadway would be open to any moving vehicle at all.  It would have to be and automobiles would have no 'special consideration.'

This law prohibits anything except motor vehicles to go from point A to point B.  Actually, it isn't just motor vehicles, it automobiles correctly registered with the State.

Hello?

The wheelchair is motorized.

Now, what was that about cars being unnecessary?

FAIRFIELD, CT (CNN) - This isn't the best way to deal with rising gas prices.
An elderly man drove his electric wheelchair down I-95 in Fairfield, CT on Thursday.
Although cameras caught the driver mostly on the shoulder, authorities believe he did make it onto the highway at one point.
The man wasn't given a ticket. However, police say traveling on a highway on an electric scooter or wheelchair is illegal.
