I rest my case, M'Lud
PS - Most users are clearly NOT senior citizens either - just fat lazy bastards !
I think you would need to have certain amount of mobility to get into the scooter. Actually, you practically need a ladder to get into some of them!
A lot of disabilities are not obvious. I have a severe back injury and often can only hobble or not walk at all.
Nobody knows about it because I dont go out on a stretcher and the rest (most)of the time I am leaping round like a mountain goat.

But you will never sit on one - a mobility scooter?
No answer....

She claimed she struggled to stand up, used a walking stick indoors and was dependent on a mobility scooter when she left the house.
But Department for Work and Pensions investigators saw her carrying a 32-inch TV, taking her dog for mile-and-a-half walks and carrying heavy shopping.
You'll probably just sit at home, when you become infirm.
As you won't want people (like you) making comments - like yours - about you.
