When you get yours dont forget a trailer for the little ones :D


What was this women doing on it half asleep?? Do think some of them need to sit a test before they are let loose on these things though, they can be lethal lol
 
Anything with wheels on the road is only as safe as the person steering in or driving it, but I do think any one who hasn't had a licence for a car or motor bike should have to take some kind of test to prove the road sense is up to scratch
 
funnily enough was talking to me best mate in accy yesterday, he has one of these, was surprised to see they are "Road Taxed" if that is the case, its nuts they don't have any kind of test, another guy with one joined us, when he left,we were both laughing at his terrible driving.:rolleyes:
 
What about the old man that took his on a motorway or a by-pass a few weeks ago, vehicles were over taking him at 70 MPH. says he took the wrong exit road by mistake after coming out of a supermarket. Luckily for him a local builder stopped and put his scooter on the back of his truck.

I think they are a great means of transport for the disabled / elderly when driven in the correct, safe manner.
 
they shoud bring back those blue 3 wheeled charriot things because no matter how bad a driver you couldnt go fast enough to cause any harm to anyone :D

Telll you what there was a Reliant Robin on the M61 last week, in very high winds ... he was bombing along at least 70 m.p.h without waiver ..... was full of admiration, 'cause they are really strange to control.

my brothers dad used to have one and i missed out on many trips to blackpool as i wouldnt be seen dead in it lol

also it was scary to be in one as all teh holes in the road for some reason are located in teh middle of teh road which the front center wheel always hit and it felt liek you were going to flip over lol

No .... just the driver, for having the guts to go out on the roads with it ...:D

Perhaps you are getting confused with the bubble car Accyman, did have sort of convertibles. Was once taken to Blackpool in one myself, broke down on the way back, not impressed .. that brought the end to one relationship.:D

I know you were ... you didnt even stop and say hiya to me and dave ... :rolleyes:
 
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.
