I agree with you ***Mr D***, drivers of these Electric Wheelchairs/Scooters should have a compulsory third party insurance and a disk displayed to say that a valid insurance is in force.

However where does that leave prams and buggies? A scooter will travel at 4mph and so can someone pushing a pram. Then again so can pedestrians. 4 mph is a brisk walking pace. We’ve all been bumped aside by someone in a hurry.

I won’t even mention push bikes.

Once my real car driving days are over I will certainly look to getting one but I will take out third party insurance to protect me against claims.
