Rejected petition Compulsory licences for mobility scooter users

More details

I have seen many injuries in my line of work sustained from dangerous driving from mobility scooters. I regularly see dangerous driving resulting in near misses on pavements, in shops and shopping centres, and today my own daughter narrowly escaped serious injury by a mobility scooter reversing at an inappropriately high speed in a shopping centre.

As a result of all the above I feel that mobility scooter users should have compulsory training prior to using them, and certainly hold a licence just as regular road users do.

If you feel strongly about this, then please sign this petition, then maybe we can make our streets and shopping centres a safer place for everyone, thankyou.
