Getting back to the mobility scooters, here in our area of Manchester, some of them are driven on the road, the people doing so, do not take into consideration the motorists, who cannot overtake them as our area is quite busy with traffic, especially buses, so you can imagine what it is like on the road if a bus gets stuck behind one. But i always thought they were neither taxed or insured as they are meant for the pavement only. Personally i think they should be barred from the road as SOME of the people that "drive" them are very dangerous as i have seen them manouvering towards the middle of the road and a car has to swerve to miss them.
