Do mobility scooters have numberplates?


Given the later comments this is actually a lie.

Ja .. but this thing allegedly pinged at 44 mph

By the way .. apart from a slight difference of opinion over a bayonet once upon a time in Appenzell many year ago now. .. my only other negative brush with law was about "racing along at 12 mph in wheelchair trying to rein in William/Nick und Steff as feisty toddlers

Many a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair need not be registered,

I also know that Jazz who look after wheelchair bound maiden aunt und Ju-Ju who has disabled child due to childhood meningitis . have some power motor which they attach to bogstandard foldy travel wheelchair. This can be tuned to 8 mph . too, Legally, apparently As some of us walk at such pace.

So the stuff about cloned number plates is another lie. So how the hell did this happen?

It's not a lie, it's a mistake.
Like when the local mob issued me a ticket for using a mobile while driving a vehicle I sold 6 months previously.
I returned their notice and filled-in that the vehicle was no longer mine, and I had the dvla letter informing me the re-registration had taken place which I enclosed a copy of.
They then told me that the new owner had not told dvla...I told them that was untrue because he lived 100 metres from me, and that I had already told him that it was a scam to get around the 14 day limit. Neither of us heard from them again.
Unfortunately, in the hunt for cash truth takes the back seat.
Don't forget, by 2050 there will not be enough money from taxation to pay the public service pensions AND pensions for "ordinary" people.
We now have over 6 million people directly and indirectly employed by/for government, which figure is getting higher by the week.
Pensions (public service) cost £168,000,000,000 last year. The "black hole) (the pension cost for those public servants retired now, and employed now) (not counting new employees) is £1,000,000,000,000. Many now have contributions deducted from their pay, which goes to pay those already retired. You work it out.
Every pound helps.

I don't get it. The car was pinged in Leeds and they say it is a car and not a scooter.

Had this lady owned this vehicle and sold it on. but DVLA forgot to update records - which meant the NIP sent to her as RK on their records?

I wonder if a class 3 mobillity scooter is given a registration number but it is not required to be displayed or a tax disc displayed?

This approach has been endorsed by Attorney General ever since 1951. CPS Code

You know what taxation rates are going to be in 2050?

Old Yorkshire saying ..

There's nowt as certain as death and taxes..

By the way . thee cannot argue wi' one from God's own country!




Then I married a woman from Appenzell.. an area which has a similar reputation of genetically programmed stubborn s ... Ooops.

But back to the topic.. Wildy has not had many brushes with the law (apart from some nonsense about bayonets... votes for wimmin .. back in late 80s in her own country)

But she once got told off by a police for "speeding at over 8 mph when in a wheelchair during the recovery stages of that "black hole" incident all those years ago.


She was with the three eldest .. then toddlers of 2 years and 4 years. It seems William and our first set of twins - Nick and Steffi - decided to head off towards the lake when in Ambleside. WIldy hurtled after them at a fair rate. I think she was in the manual one and she could certainly get up o a faster speed than in the powered one . which she had also "meddled with"

So the law about wheelchairs/electrically powered wheelchairs and now the mobility scooter has always existed.

This case? Still cannot work out how come the lady received a NIP unless she had once owned a car with that registration.

The whole problem with the rogue scooter users seems to be that they are fairly untraceable as few have registration number plates. Ju-Ju has a fold up version of this for her son (disabled due to childhood meningitis) as does Jazz .. or rather the elderly aunt she looks after .. does.

They do not have to have number plates on these


Jazz and Ju-Ju are my sisters who live in the Worsley area of Manchester. I know Claire has met one of them. Both are teachers and both are trainee magistrates. They thus comply with the law absolutely as this will undermine their current training as wannabe "pillocks of the establishment" . (I joke .. lest our resident magistrate gets upset)
