Mobility Scooters: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the safety requirements for mobility scooters operating on public highways.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department is committed to ensuring that users of powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters remain safe, mobile and independent. That is why on the 21st July we announced a review of the law covering powered mobility devices which we will consult on in due course. The safety of all users who rely on a powered mobility device, pedestrians and other road users will be a key consideration in the review.
