Mobility scooter peril

“Especially dangerous are the scooterists who hunt in pairs in 'echelon rear' formation, if the first one doesn't get you his wingman will..”

“bettyd i love that song i worked on the record counter in woolworths in edgeware road london and it was playing most of the time how right you are”

“Chris said- 'My wife was nearly hit by one such user (he knows who he is) recently'..

I think I know the one you mean mate, he flings his scooter round pulling enough G-forces to black out a combat pilot , we call him 'the Blue Max'”

“I saw a mobility scooter on Alma road, is this legal? if I hit one in my car will they be insured, I don't want to pay for there funeral.”

“I live in a city in Italy and Ive not seen one mobilty scooter since Ive been here, just an observation, downside is I have to watch out for the octogenarians on bikes now........!!!”

“Zager & Evans had great foresight with their song " In the year 2525 " ok so a lot is happening now rather than in the future to come. Take a listen people. http://tinyurl.com/9sj64da


" your arms Are hanging limp by your side, your legs got nothing to do, some machines doing that for you "”

“I'm happy to see the general consensus against some mobility scooter users. Perhaps, in the very near future, we will see some serious regulation in place.

It may seen a convenient way for some to move around but it's a downhill spiral. More artificial mobility means less exercise which leads to more obesity which leads to the inability to walk.”

“@cakegirl. Move upmarket to Sainsbury's. Anyway, what are you doing shopping at that time of day? Bargain hunting too?”

“jannercide, ..the truth hurts, its shocking to see the amount of obese people on these scooters and i do believe for some people who are genuinely disabled they are good but from my observations the majority are plain lazy, fat and bone idle and only use these scooters as its easier than trying to carry their huge carcasses around the town, less food, more exercise and general movement would make a big difference, i dread being in morrisons when the tanoy announces price reductions in the evenings, the sound of the fatties barging their way down to the cake section ;-)”

“John, pavements and pedestrian areas, the clue is in pedestrian, are for people who are walking. Since when is a motorised scooter a pedestrian. How dare these scooter riders suggest that people on foot are at fault because they dare to walk on and in these areas whilst on their phones etc, i would agree if they were walking across a road not paying attention.

NO it is the scooter riders who need to be more aware, they need to take a test, have a licence and insurance before being let loose on our pavements”
