Mobility scooter riders are more than two and a half times more likely to be killed in a road crash compared to other road users, data has revealed.

Department for Transport (DfT) road casualty statistics show that in 2022, nine mobility scooter users were killed and 270 were injured in collisions on the UK’s roads.

Alarmingly, the figures show that over the last decade, mobility scooter casualties have increased by an average of 20 per cent, year on year.

A Mobility Scooter Safety Guide

Surewise have produced this Mobility scooter safety guide to help you stay safe and secure on your mobility scooter. The aim of this guide is to help you increase your confidence using a mobility scooter in a safe and responsible manner to help maintain your independence and freedom. This guide will help to protect the safety of people who use mobility scooters, other road users and pedestrians.

Your mobility scooter will get you where you want to go, provided you follow the rules of the road, exercise proper caution, and are aware of your environment. Naturally you can’t control what other road users do, but you can take steps to make travelling on your mobility scooter as safe as possible.
