amen to that TC , but still glad they've got 4 wheels and not 2 lol ..bet you'd insist on 2 though with a v-twin !                                                                                                                                                                              

TC ive had the exact same situation with one stranded, like a tortoise on its back !!                                                                                                                                                                             

  In the window of the mobility shop in town (it's moved premises now) there were the usual scooters and one that had handlebars and looked like a chopper bike lol (mine)   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Many years ago on my way to a doctors appointment, on a warm sunny day fresh out of the shower, a woman was sat in one of these things and asked if I'd PUSH her cos her battery was flat. She must have weighed 20 stone, and gawd knows how much the scooter weighed AND the road she wanted me  to push her up? ....a ruddy great hill!!!  lol   I was wet through with sweating and when I got to the doctors had my blood pressure checked and it was normal which surprised me after what I'd just done. I smoked about 30 a day then too so even more surprising.                                                                                                                                                                               

Kwak,

Next time just rush by looking the other way n shoutin 'I know nothin' LOL
                                                                                                                                                                             

  Rusty, I'm goin to get one of those fold-away walking canes (painted white)  ROFL                                                                                                                                                                             

and make sure you've got your trainers on so you can pick up the pace a bit lol                                                                                                                                                                              

I must admit to having a bit of a giggle when I heard this on the radio and I'm sure the bloke reading the news was having trouble suppressing a chuckle! On the other hand though,I dont suppose the old dear who got run over found it all that funny. I had to rescue an old lady on one in tesco,she had got stuck at the bottom of one of those travelator things and there was an awful electrical smell coming out of it  mind you,she was laden with about 3 hundredweight of shopping!                                                                                                                                                                             

*laden with about 3 hundredweight of shopping!*

Don't tell me they're making HGV scooters now pond! The electrical smell was probably her pacemaker
                                                                                                                                                                             

Is it illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving one?                                                                                                                                                                             

old people cant use mobiles anyway they go into shock when it rings and just stare at it. i usualy ask them to bluetooth me their crap ringtone and get a look of bewilderment                                                                                                                                                                              

the oversized chain smoking parents take there kids to school on em here!!                                                                                                                                                                             

guess they'll be hooking up caravans and clogging up the highways soon , anyone for a petition ?                                                                                                                                                                              

Hey there's nowt wrong with caravans! Even if they are doing 8 mph behind an electric vehicle. Mind they'll have to have some size mirror extensions, maybe a new market for me there!!                                                                                                                                                                              

  How come such a serious topic turned into such a funny one?                                                                                                                                                                               

Ahem.....yes lads stop being silly and get back to the serious side of this, someone could have gotten badly hurt!                                                                                                                                                                               

think that they should have to take module 1 and 2 poss even 3 and 4. if asda did free delivery for oldies that would keep them all indoors!                                                                                                                                                                             

someone did get badly hurt RK but it could have been worse....it could have been me lol
