Many mobility scooter riders report feeling ignored or treated as a nuisance by other road users. They find pavements blocked by cars, wheelie bins or shop signs making journeys stressful as they have to take detours, & some stop going out. How can we make their journey easier?

Mobility scooters are classed as invalid carriages and users do not require a driving licence, tax or insurance but they must be 14 years old or over. Many users do take out insurance policies to protect themselves & their scooter in the event of a collision or theft. Sure Wise Ltd

Off road bikes and motorbikes with a loud engine can be particularly challenging for horses. Please be prepared to stop and turn your engine off. Slow down to 10mph and donโ€™t rev your engine. Pass the horse wide and slow if safe to do so. youtube.com/watch?v=HzDx7dโ€ฆ
