OAPs on mobility scooters hit with 4mph speed limit after spate of near misses
Mobility scooter users at Idlewells Shopping Centre in Nottinghamshire have been hit with a 4mph speed limit after a spike in near-misses with pedestrians. While some pensioners have welcomed the move, calling out reckless drivers, others see it as unnecessary and patronising. Centre officials say the limit reinforces existing laws to improve safety without targeting responsible users.
