Mobility scooters are a menace.
My two year old boy was injured by someone dangerously driving a mobility scooter, who seemed to think that making a barely audible beeping noise beforehand gives them the right to crash into you. Some owners/operators of these vehicles also seem to think they have the right to drive them the on the wrong side of the road in city centre rush hour traffic.
Hopefully the £250 tax on them can be used to fund a compulsory day's training (like a motorcycle CBT) to explain the responsibilities of a mobility scooter operator and show people how to use these vehicles in a socially acceptable manner!
