requirement not to exceed 4 mph on footpaths or shopping areas. Always use the slow speed when driving inside
buildings, crowded areas, sales, stately homes etc. Using the faster speed in these sorts of conditions presents a
serious danger both to you and people on foot. Don’t forget these machines are very quiet and others may not be
aware of your presence. The 8 mph speed is only legal for road or off road use.

Scooters fall into two categories, Class 2 which is essentially a 4mph pavement vehicle and can only legally be

mph and provided it is fitted with front and rear lights, flashing indicators, horn and rear view mirror it is legal for

ENSIBLE GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY
hen using the footpath – Just because you are on the footpath or pedestrian precinct does not make you a
edestrian. If you are on a motorized vehicle you are no longer a pedestrian.
emember pedestrians always have right of way! - Many people on foot will be kind and helpful to the
rivers of a wheelchair or scooter, but not everyone!
n a crowded precinct, market area, or footpath - It is your responsibility to ensure you do not run into
nyone or do any harm with your vehicle. While many people will make way for you, you cannot expect
veryone to do so. Some will appear to not even realize you are there. They will climb round and even over
our vehicle rather than allow you room to move. Also be very aware of people’s feet.
