During the clip, Mr Grenter and his brother-in-law are heard laughing as they spot the mini-convoy driving along the dual carriageway.
Before the scooter comes into view, one of the startled men is heard saying:’Oh yeah, like someone on a mobility scooter like.’
As the men approach the scooter, a police car’s lights can be seen flashing and blocking off the left-hand lane.
Mr Grenter and his brother-in-law then roll down the car window and shout ‘All right, drive’ to the the bemused-looking scooter driver.
As Mr Grenter and his brother-in-law Courtney Morgan pass the scooter driver they cheer on words of encouragement and shout: ‘All right drive!’
