17. SAFE DRIVING TIPS FOR SCOOTER USERS
Scooters fall into two categories, Class 2 which is essentially a 4mph pavement vehicle and can only legally be
used on the road when either crossing over or because there are no footpaths. A Class 3 vehicle is capable of 4 &
8 mph and provided it is fitted with front and rear lights, flashing indicators, horn and rear view mirror it is legal for
use on the road. It can also be used on the footpaths but must not exceed 4 mph. Class 2 & 3 vehicles must not
be driven on Dual Carriageways, Motorways, Bus Lanes or Cycle Tracks.
INSURANCE – There is no legal requirement for insurance but it is a very good idea to have cover for fire and
theft, accidental and malicious damage, and also third party damages. Just phone Telesales at TGA (01787
882244) and they will talk you through it.
BREAKDOWN & GET YOU HOME SERVICE - Again a very good idea and can take a load of worry off your
mind. Just talk to Telesales at TGA.
MOBILE PHONE - An essential item if you are out there alone. You never know, breakdown, accident, health –
communication is a must.
CARRYING LOADS – Do not overload. It may make the vehicle unstable and reduce its range. Place heavy
loads inboard – in the middle – not behind the back wheel which can lighten the steering or can cause the front
end to lift off the road on a bump, and not at the front which might make steering heavy.
WATCH YOUR BRAKES – Never try to drive, or even sit on your vehicle while it is in “free wheel”. The electronic
brake will be out of action and the vehicle could run away with you.
MAINTENANCE – Do carry out the checks listed in this manual regularly and also have the machine serviced at
least once a year.
TYRES – Keep tyres at the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. They will last longer and be safer.
Replace when they become worn. Soft tyres will reduce the range of your batteries.
LIGHTS – Check lights regularly. Use your lights frequently, at dusk onwards, on a dull or rainy day. However,
remember the use of lights may reduce the range of your scooter.
SENSIBLE GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY
When using the footpath – Just because you are on the footpath or pedestrian precinct does not make you a
pedestrian. If you are on a motorized vehicle you are no longer a pedestrian.
Remember pedestrians always have right of way! – Many people on foot will be kind and helpful to the
drivers of a wheelchair or scooter, but not everyone!
