The senior coroner for Somerset has called on the Government to bring in tests for users of mobility scooters after a 92-year-old woman was killed in a hit-and-run. The coroner warned that the lack of regulation around scooter use could lead to more deaths. The Transport Secretary has responded by stating that while many registered retailers of mobility scooters evaluated the skills of users, there was a problem with second-hand sales. He called on users to consider training when they begin using a mobility scooter. The roll-out of a new certified assessment training scheme will help retail and hire businesses to assess a client's safe driving ability.
