HAVE the foulmouthed motorists abusing me for using mobility scooter as a form of cycle in the road ever noticed the unsafe footpaths where they DO exist?

The too few, often three-inch-high steeply sloped crossovers, the cars, wheelie bins, overgrown hedge,s cyclists blocking the footpaths and residents exiting car parks and driveways at speed without first looking.

I challenge one of my abusers to spend a day in Verwood using my scooter to experience for a day the difficulties/dangers of using of using one on Verwood’s footpaths.
