Driving down Brenda Road and stuck in traffic to find two obese ladies in mobility scooters riding two abreast conducting a conversation at approximately 4 mph. Oh fecking dear.

There is an old lad near us who takes hios mobility scooter out and sticks strictly to the road. He always stops to chat with anybody he sees. Not too bad in the middle of the village but when you're doing 110 on the main road and he's suddenly there doing 7 it gets a bit difficult.

I like how they drape a dayglo jacket on the back and presumably think it gives them the protection of 12" armour plate. It doesn't !

I've seen the two old women in mobility scooters doing that along Hucklehoven Way before - clearly just getting practice in for Brenda Road. Next month, the A689!

Tonight I saw a man walking past Tescos rolling a large crystal ball in the palm of his hand...

Are they legally supposed to be on the road? Seems a bit odd if they are since they don't pay tax, require a license or a license plate.

Also, it seems to be a northern/north eastern thing. Never seen these kamikaze grannies elsewhere on my travels.

They have them here too. Two old blokes on them came racing out of my local Tesco on them on Sunday, and nearly ran over my eldest's foot. I'm sure they must have had the motors mapped, there's no way they're supposed to do that speed.

Also regularly see a different old twat on his, cheerfully driving his down the main road, usually in the wrong direction, completely oblivious to the chew he is causing. He waves at all the people beeping him as if they are old friends. How he hasn't been wiped out yet is anybodies guess.

There 2 classes one is allowed on the road . one isn't. Depends on the speed they can do if they can do 8-10 mph( I think) then they allowed on the road. others have max speed of about 5mph they not allowed on the road. They also need front/rear lights, horn and rear view mirror

And if they are for the road they need number plates, tax free as they are electric

Saw one near Lancaster last week ' driving' down the road at the speed of a pregnant tortoise ..... It was a bog standard wheelchair 'modernised' with a battery under the seat and an 8ft pole with an orange hazard light flashing away on top. The pilot was so old I suspect he'd passed away and the thing was on auto pilot till the battery died the death. The two massive green quarry wagons stuck behind the chariot of death were less than amused as were the column of cars behind.
By the way, do those Wagga chariots and their one horse power unit that always seem to appear on busy roads at peak times need insurance ?

a few years ago saw one near middlesbrough on the a19. used to be only available to registered disabled people but now seem to be the vehicle of choice for the fat overweight brigade.

If you think its bad here, go to Florida for a fortnight....

I've just been reminded of the image of some huge fat bird's arse completely enveloping the seat I saw once over there. Urghhhh....

Yeah,but al least the caterpillar tracks will limit their speed.

As I was driving home from Aberdeen today there was a fella driving along the middle of the road in Coldstream whilst holding a dog on the end of a lead.

Why do people on these machines come up behind you on a footpath, keep pipping til you move aside for them, then shake their heads and tut as they fly past, as if you're in the wrong for "Walking" on a "Footpath".

Once a rather large lady overtook me on one of them scooters and pulled up outside the chippy. By the time I caught up she was walking out of the chippy carrying a bag that must have contained fish and chips 5 times. No wonder she was fat.

The last thing some hefty folk need is one of these contraptions. Vicious circle really, less walking equals more flab.

Before my dad bought his own as he is disabled we where in Orlando and he was in his wheelchair by the third day he decided to hire one at magic kingdom as I was shattered pushing him around. There was one two left and this fat heffer I front of us got one so we thought fine, until she tried to get another for he equally fat daughter who was under age of 20. This massive looking marine type America who was behind us said excuse me sir and walk in front of my dad then said to the fat family I am sorry missus but if you don't give one of them chairs to this gentleman who clearly needs it more than you I am going to drag you out of it. Needless to say my dad got an electric chair that day. Since he has bought his own it's a godsend.
