A Poole man says he's trying to beat a world record later today - twelve years after losing a leg in a motorsport accident which killed two other people - to prove you can still live your life after disability.

Steve Tarrant was hit by a Formula One car while working as a marshall at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - something he still does.

Now the 51 year old's attempting to beat the record of the furthest distance travelled in 24 hours on a mobility scooter -  at least a hundred and fifty four miles.
