A mobility scooter or powered wheelchair can open up shops, parks and visits to friends. But there are rules about where you can go, how fast, and what your vehicle must have. This course explains the GOV.UK rules on class 2 and class 3 vehicles, using pavements and roads, eyesight, registration and insurance, with practical safety tips.
