Some folks cannot walk or stand for long, but can walk far enough to get to the scooters. I often used to go inside and run the store's scooter out to our car, so my wife could use it. Don't know what they are using in your markets, but the scooters offered by our stores had a top speed of about 2 MPH - appropriate for the aisles of the store. They are also provided free of charge.
Frankly, I've never been hit by a mobility scooter, but have received hits from shopping trolleys, baby strollers, scooters, as well as incosiderate people. Perhaps all of these should get a license and insurance as well?
