How can I increase my safety driving a scooter or power chair?
There are a few things that you can easily do to improve your safety and the safety of others. These include:
- Attach an orange safety flag to your chair high enough so that other vehicles and pedestrians can see it
- If possible attach rear view mirrors to your scooter
- Plan your travel in advance so that you use public footpaths as much as possible
- Know where the kerb ramps and drive ways are for safe crossing
- Avoid highways and major roads, and if you need to use a road try to use quiet streets
- If you have to travel at night, use lights and reflectors to increase your visibility
Your new mobility scooter or power chair will provide you with greater freedom and a much improved lifestyle. Get out and about, chat to others and most importantly of all…. smell the roses!
