My friend went to Cambridge when Hawking was there.
He tells a story about walking behind his wheelchair on the towpath next to the river Cam. Hawking would pretend to veer into the water then turn back, then veer towards then turn away multiple times.
Pissed him off because he felt he had to watch him safely to his college and he didn’t want to have to jump in the river if Stephens dangerous driving went wrong.
Gotta be fair. If I had to be an obligate wheelie and had to regularly find exotic and exquisite ways for matter, energy and the universe to kill each other and themselves, then I’d have my fun when I can and make it the universe’s problem, too.

Seems likely. He was notoriously an absolute terror on the pavements around Cambridge in general
