MANY people complain about mobility scooters and how they get in the way on the pavements, then they complain they should not go on the road.

None of us can ever know if we may end up having to use one of these in later life, then it will be a different story.

The scooters are a way for people to get out and about, otherwise they would have to stay at home and wait for someone to take them out.

Never think “it will never happen to me”, because we do not know. Perhaps some may slow us down a bit, but do not complain that they exist, as it may be you one day running around in one.
