Just to add.
There are a couple of old boys like me nearby who won`t walk the quarter mile to the paper shop - so go in their cars doing the 8.30 rush hour - I see them as I`m there on foot.
They are not disabled, but it`s a fair walk, to them - and the pavements in the local area are totally free as everyone is in a car.
If they had mobility scooters - made socially acceptable to use if not having mobility issues (re- named) - it would surely take a slice out of the rush hour everywhere.
After all, why not? Kids go to school in cars, push bikes blast along pavements at 30mph and other than that, they are empty.
