16. SAFE DRIVING TIPS FOR SCOOTER USERS 
 
Scooters fall into two categories, Class 2 which is essentially a 4mph pavement scooter and can only 
legally be used on the road when either crossing over or because there are no footpaths.  A Class 3 
scooter 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. Class 3 scooters must also be registered with the DVLA. 
 
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. For more information call 
TGA. 
 
BREAKDOWN & GET YOU HOME SERVICE - Again not a requirement but a very good idea to enable 
you total peace of mind when going out on your Vita Midi 4. 
 
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 your Vita Midi 4 
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!
