She must have been motoring to get this effect! :shock:

Quote:
More than 300,000 people are thought to use mobility scooters in the UK. They can travel at up to 8mph (12.8km/h) and weigh up to 150kg.
But there is no compulsory assessment to see if someone is fit to drive one.

150kg at 8mph is bad enough if you happen to be a pedestrian hit by one, yet alone when the 'driver' in a lot of cases would appear to weigh the same again.

As is usual these scooters have only become a problem because of the minority who don't use them with respect to others.
