You can hire one of the smaller scooters, for shopping, in Warrington market. It makes me wonder how the people who hire them get into the market in the first place if they can't walk? Even the market car park is about 100 yards across a fly-over. Once they are on the scooters and out shopping they are lethal. If I see one coming I make as wide a detour as possible as the drivers have nothing in their minds except where they want to go and God help those who get in the way.

The bigger ones - we have one that tootles through our village. He lives on the busy, 60 limit main road and he sets off at 8 m.p.h regardless of other traffic then makes a right turn into the village centre. He doesn't signal, slow down, speed up or whatever - he just goes. Naturally, drivers are careful not to hit him so the problem is to avoid hitting each other as they avoid him.
