Vehicles blocking pavements

Sensible & thoughtful, @Ranald & really, to be expected from all users. I have a powerchair so 4mph, but I slow down & try & move away from entrances, just in case someone should appear.

As for e-scooters (saw your comment above), they really should not be on pavements at all, they are too fast & dangerous. Especially when they have more than one on them or shopping (I've been smacked in the shoulder from behind as one whizzed by with shopping bags on the handlebar 🤬) or on their phone.

I want a Sunrise Medical Quickie class 3 powerchair. They are very expensive however.

I have 2 scooters to sell, that would help. I just use my credit cards and stuff the consequences, quite frankly.

If I had the ability to ride something like that, I wouldn't need a mobility scooter.

You live in the USA? That isn't the UK.

I went shopping on Sunday and was almost run over by a nincompoop on one of those weird,unicycle type contraptions.

@egister, I haven't got a clue why you posted all those photos covering most that I mentioned in my post or why you went on about the US & speeds or the fact that they apparently, according to you, are all rentals. There are rentals here too & guess what, they are fast & often seen on paths where they are not allowed to be.

I'll add, e-scooters/e-bikes should not be on any pavements, like the bloke pictured above, private or rental. In the UK, pavements are for walking on & if a wheelchair user, as we're governed to 4MPH. We come across the wing mirrors, over grown gardens, hedges, **** dangerous bumps, dips & cracks in paving stones. The last thing we & any pedestrian needs is speeding idiots flying passed or into us or forcing us to stop so that they can go on their merry way without a nod, thanks or KMA. There are no excuses for them to be on pathways. So, carry on & spoil for a fight with your retorts or weird excuses, you have now got a reply. If you have an e-scooter, leave the paths for us that cannot go on the roads, it will be a safer place for us in wheelchairs & as you have said, a standing person is easier to see. I just wish I could stand & then walk upright so I would be easier to see as it seems those on e-scooters, illegally on paths, don't see us either, even when they have passengers!! Anyway, have a good day, I'm off this thread now.

Oh, der… the reason I actually came back to this thread was, I was trundling along a pathway today & there was a highways transit truck & trailer parked just down from the bloke's house, I know that, as my sister lives in the same road & he (& his colleague who lives opposite & parks his van fully on that side's path!) always parks there, was too far over & I had to go over on grass & still caught something on his trailer, turns out, a metal reflector bar on it & it's now a bit bent. I am now going to report both of them, as enough is enough & they can walk around the corner to their bleddy vans.
