Mobility Scooter Accidents - Need for Preventative Action?
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Mobility scooters are three- or four-wheeled vehicles, powered by an electric engine. Often acquired by the elderly population, they neither require a drivers' license, nor an assessment of operator skills prior to use. Other vehicles used primarily by older people are powered wheelchairs and electric bicycles.
