Get a License or park it.
Iâm against government regulations. Â Everything involves a fee and paperwork to be registered. Â Too much red tape. Â Well, I have to backtrack on one thing. Â Iâve run into too many people on their electric mobility scooters who have no business driving anything. (They would be dangerous on a Teeter Tooter.) Â I had my foot run over by some knucklehead driving too fast in Walmart while talking on her cellphone. Â Itâs gotten crazy. Â I also recently had a lady flying down the aisle, eating a Whoopee Pie at a store on her mobility scooter. Â She had to slam on her brakes to stop just inches from taking me out. Â She immediately states how she didnât know how to get it moving again. (Yep, driving something that she didnât understand, all its controls. Â Doesnât that scream SUPER SAFE? I said a short prayer to myself and said, âThank you, Jesus.â Â I just see more and more scooter users who are reckless drivers. Â Try to push their way through crowded areas. Â Donât get me started on the increase in aggressive mobility scooter drivers. (I donât believe that because youâre on a mobility device, you have the right of way in the Cereal Aisle.) Some people need them, and I am sympathetic to that. Â But letâs be truthful, many users are just too flippin' lazy to take two steps to grab some Pringles off the shelf. Â I see no problem with a person wanting to use one of those mobility devices, but they need to take some type of driver's test. Â Yep, you canât drive through stores and street fairs unless you have a driver's permit for that vehicle. Â I swear many of these scooter drivers picture themselves as Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furiousâ. Â As things stand right now, Stevie Wonder could be driving one of those mobility scooters through a store doing some shopping. Â I hear it now. Â âHey, Dad, is that Stevie Wonder who just drove through that Bounty Paper Towel display? Â Yep, son, it sure is, but I sure love his music. â
