Canadian fined for riding Segway on street

Segway HT

We knew it was bound to happen sooner or later: an Ontario man has gotten fined $8000 (Canadian dollars, we think) for riding his Segway on a street without a license, without insurance, and making an illegal left turn. He's fighting the charges, but he's caught in the middle of a techno-legal catch-22: he can't ride his Segway without a license, but the good people down at the motor vehicle registry can't (or won't) issue him one, reducing his Segway-enjoying options to playing polo with it or using it as a golf caddy.
