I TOO, have a motorised scooter (electric), it has lights, horn, blinkers, hazard lights. It is a Class 3 scooter, authorised to go on the road or pavement.

It has variable speeds 8mph, 4mph, or crawl when in town shops. It is also fully insured and, like the previous writer, I myself have had a lot of abuse (some not very nice), from bus drivers, heavy goods drivers and car drivers.

We don't use our wheelchairs for fun, it is because we have to go places.

I hope and pray that none of the abusers has to rely on a wheelchair -- but who can say.
