Should disability scooters be used on pavement or road?
Answers:
Neither, they are too dangerous for both!
road is a sort of pavement.
PAVEMENT UNLESS THEY PAY ROAD TAX.
i think they are used on the pavement because they don't go fast enough to go on the road
I dunno but theres two loony old dears on my road that deliberately try and ram people. I'd love to see them play chicken with each other!!
They also have 100's of fluffy toys plastered to their rides. during the world cup they had flags and banners and kits on. shocking.
I think they're too slow for the road and too dangerous for the pavement! BAN 'EM!!
I believe that they should be on the pavement. It would be too dangerous to have them on the road. They are slow, and if a car isn't watching, there could be an accident. They really don't need any more problems.
The pavement. It is not a road-worthy vehicle.
haha . yes let them have revenge on the world !! they have enough to contend with !
wow . those things can get quite a speed up !!
Depends on the user some people think you should just get out of the way so they should have there tyres let down
on the pavements,i see them all the times on the road facing on coming traffic , there a nightmare.
Keep them on the pavement. We dont want them on the road They go to slow and there will be to many accidents.
I don't think they should be used on the road, they are not licenced and could cause an accident as they go too slow as a road vehicle
Legally speaking - 4mph scooters can be used on the pavement or for crossing the road (nice idea but there is often no ramp to get the scooter back on to the pavement! So you have to STAY on the road til you find the next ramp - theoretically breaking the law!!) - 8mph scooters can ONLY be used on the road - legally speaking that is.but as most police AND scooter users don't actually KNOW the rules it seems that 'anything goes'.
Quick word to spook 1073 - scooter users who drive facing oncoming traffic have probably read the ordinary Highway Code and are trying to 'abide by the rules' - a scooter user is NOT legally a 'vehicle' - it's a 'motorised' pedestrian - and the rules say that 'Where there is no suitable walkway - a pedestrian should walk facing oncoming traffic.' That's what I did when I first had to use a scooter.then I read the scooter regs..now I TRY to stick to the rules! Not always possible.
It should be on the pavement
The pavement they are a danger to themselves on the road.
In the road.
Pavements are solely for the use of people who walk.
NO!!! they should only be used on side walks.
I think they are a menace for both. They make older people who use them, give up even trying to walk, then they can't do without them.
