Mobility Scooters.

[Theland]

Are mobility scooters legally required to have insurance?
Jus applied for a rental house and they asked if I had an insurance certificate for my scooter. I don't.

[nailit]

Do we? I don't drive my scooters into Mothercare!!!
Having said that I am paying off lots of money each week (to the courts tho) ;-)

[Theland]

I need to get back to R & S John and continue to try saving your soul. You are not a hopeless case - - Yet!

[nailit]

You pray for me Theland, and I will dance naked in the woods for you (pagan that I am) ;-)

Don't wish to pry but who on earth is John?

[Mamyalynne]

Good luck with sorting out your insurance and your new home.

[nailit]

That's me JD

John is a Wizard of old. Casting spells an shooting magic out of his wand. At least he did from 2006 when I first met him.

[nailit]

Steady Theland, don't give too much of my previous incarnation away!!

[Jackdaw33]

Don't tell me you were wyzard 69!

[nailit]

Erm, well, errm......

[Theland]

We were members of the same secret society. Long cloaks and no underwear. Drank lots of potions and then tried to remember what the hell we were doing in the first place.
Oops. Said too much. Off to bed now. Nima was there too and miss. Don't let them deny it. Love you all. X

[nailit]

JD Has only been a member since 2015 so obviously had a previous incarnation himself to remember....

[anneasquith]

Nailit was wizzard? Well well well .

As someone who has had one for years, I've seen a few misconceptions on this thread.

As said, liability insurance is not compulsory, but a good idea. Theft insurance can be included with any household policy, but you have to advise.

8mph scooters are legal on the road but not on the pavement AT THAT SPEED. No registration plate is required, nor road tax. If registered disabled, tax is exempt anyway.

Seriously can't understand why a landlord would have an interest like that though. None of their business.

[Theland]

That's what
I thought. But there it was on the application form. They want an insurance certificate. I'm not a hells Angel anymore. My Bonneville was laid to rest years ago. Sad.
