I use a mobility scooter and if it wasnt for it i wouldnt get about even though i have a car.I would just like to say that,we seem to judge people who have them though we know a little about that person.
A lot of disabled people,including my self,put on weight from being under active or,it maybe their medication thats causing them to be obese.
True by law you dont need insurance to drive one but,a civil prosecution may be took out if some one drives over you in one.
I say best of luck to the people who have them disabled or not as their usually on the pavement not like the people on pedal bikes who also have no insurance.
Well said, Jeff, in your second para. I have friends who have debilitating incurable illnesses but who look perfectly normal other than being overweight. Both take drugs to mediate their condition and very often can go through very bad periods of pain when walking and their only option of getting about is their mobility scooter.
I'm sure some mobility scooters, just as some BB's are abused but that doesn't give any of us the right to judge the extent of someone's mobility or other health issues.
I don't have a mobility scooter nor a BB but with lower back damage from my early 20's, exacerbated by a car crash and more recently caring for my late Mum for five years, I may be facing that. I would want to be able to go out and shop, meet friends, etc. and if one of these helps, so be it and I would not like to be on the receiving end of comments my friends have received.

having read all of the posts on here regarding mobility scooters, I have come to this conclusion. most of you are taking umbrage of some of the comments regarding everyones misconception of riders of these scooters.i, not only have one but use it when out and about,i am disabled and overweight and i'm afraid, in most cases 1 goes hand in hand with the other. Again, whilst out and about in Benidorm, I also have seen, shall we say able-bodied using the double scooters and my friends son and his pals who were all able-bodied using said scooters on a lads stag do. So yes, there are some out there who think it fun to use.equally, I personally don't give a hoot what people think about me and my scooter, whist they're talking about me, they're leaving some other poor sod alone. and on that note, I will say, stay healthy, happy and most of all, look after each other, jan
