Default Mobility scooters

Is it me or are there more of these than pedestrians

Feel like i missed the boat as i did when mobile telephones took off.Should have opened a shop selling them!

Think they might need to have a speed limiter on some of them though!

Although they can be excellent for those that actually need them and they get the freedom that would be impossible for them otherwise, it does seem that most are piloted by the overweight and lazy

Yeah you see loads of morbidly obese people in them at Tesco...always buying TONS of food. Probably all paid for with benefits.

I have a mate who is severely disabled who is buying and selling them, doing quite well at it as well, thinking at some point of giving up his job.

I can see what Tony is saying, used to work in Rochdale and the big Tescos there always had a few cruising round with a special trolley in front of them, invariably filled with crap, those bags of cheapo Doughnuts were popular, did strike me as a vicious circle.

It must be a boon to anyone who is too disabled to be able to walk though. Gives them some sort of life at least.

I do not get why fat people have them. They always seem to be on the way to the shops or chippie or in the way back from there.

FFS WALK! burn some calories and loose some weight

Bloodyhell its a wonder she don't need some rugged quad bike to shift her about.

I see quite a few of these scooters parked outside pubs.

Its a bit of a revelation these days when you realise the percentage of people who are grossly overweight now.

Very unusual compared to some years ago. I suppose people are so easily tempted into overeating now. Maybe it is the type of food which is available.
