I was just nearly run down by one of those old people on those mobility scooters, they seem to think that they have right of way over the entire pavement, if cyclists have to use the roads when cycle paths are not available then why shouldn't they, course you can't tell them that, the fact of the matter is, is that most of them would be too scared to go on the road and so would probably just stay home and stew in their own juices, this is no solution, really what we need is some laws as for how they should use these scooters while on the pedestrian area of the street, remember, they are not pedestrians, any breaking of these laws should be met with a temporary revocation of their scooter using rights. Of course they'll be a public outcry, and the human rights people will be up in arms but then they often are and this is a perfectly natural and indeed normal position for them to be in, whats more most old people are so angry and bitter that they'll refuse to conform to any such law and go around running young people down as an act of protest, so more old people on ASBO's then.

it is not only old people who use mobility scooters, i am onlly young but have to use a scooter due to arthritus, and most scooter users are respectfull of other people on the pavements, these days its only just safe driving a car on the roads god alone what danger we would be under with a small porable scooter on a road,if our goverment spent less money giving to imigrants and provided scooter & cycle lanes wouldnt life be better,
