Laws on mobility vehicles to be tightened
03.03.10
There have been mounting demands for changes, following a outpouring of accidents
involving mobility scooters including the expiration of an 84-year-old
grandmother in Sunderland two years ago.
The proposed changes will put to use to vehicles, also known as invalid carriages,
which are used both on the pavement, where they are reduced to a 4mph speed
limit and on the road, where currently an 8mph limit is in exact.
A key proposal would bring in new laws to enable police to prosecute peopleIn generalwho use the vehicles in an "irresponsible or dangerous" manner.
Currently police can only act if the driver is caught using a readily-held mobile
phone or found to be over the drink-drive limit.
Even schooner-driving only leads to a fine
because, as the drivers are unlicensed, they cannot be disqualified.
Other changes would allow for the legal requirement for all owners to have third
party motor insurance. This is because hotshot injured by a mobility
vehicle currently has no redress, neither does a motorist who is complex in
a collision – even when the driver of the invalid carriage is at immoderately.
