You say that but not long back someone on here saw an OAP get badly hurt whilst riding a probably illegal scooter on the road in heavy rain.

They are a liability.

I know i saw that! Just made me chuckle a bit as i know what Drew's Grandma is like on her's when we take her around Worcester. She hits people with her walking stick and tells them to move as elderly person coming though!

Then someone is going to do her for assault pretty soon. :) or sue her as part of our blame / claim culture! (Probably both!)

I too have seen a prang with one of these.The old boy got up a good speed downhill on the road,lost control and hit a couple of parked cars.He had a few bruises and cuts,but the cars were damaged.He had also had a few jars,but was not breathalised as his vehicle did not require him to have license or insurance.According to the police who attended,the owners of the damaged cars would need to sue him personally for their costs,and he would have no money to pay,so they would get nothing.

Or just use her general vicinity as an ashtray. Seems to annoy cyclists who use the pavement.

ere when me and Im Indoors are 80, we're planning on racing down Gibbet Street on them, beating each other with sticks......like YC says 'hells grannies'

[the_lone_wolf]

they are a danger on the island, most likely the only reason they're riding on them is because they were too incompetent to drive a car and had their licenses taken off them

sorry, but driving up the middle of the road, yes, the middle, when the empty pavement has been specially lowered because 90% of the people on the island are over 70 years old is inconsiderate and dangerous, just because they're disabled doesn't mean they're immune to common sense and courtesy toward everyone else

and breath...

[Stingo]

I hadn't realised that Herefordshire had a council....:-dd

[yorkie_chris]

Can't you just use them as a kicker when you're on the KTM?

hmm, the thought hadn't occurred, but i can see a mis-placed walking stick being quite painful:mrgreen:

i think you are cofussing the old age scooters with the SV ............... an easy mistake to make though:smt042

[tigersaw]

I was planning a day trip but might not now, it probably smells of wee everywhere

come in the afternoon, they all get up at 4am and have had heart attacks by 10 so it gets quiet again;)

Old woman + Skirt (not even a denim one at that) + Scooter + Utter lack or road sense + an unveering sense that they are right = lethal combination.

The worst road user I have ever seen is an old woman near me, out of the 3 occassions I have seen her, 2 of them she nearly crashed into me and on both had the audacity to glower at me as though I was somehow in the wrong when she ****ed up her cornering and veered into my lane.
