I definitely don't do that on footpaths as police would pull me over haha. It's actually a tad scary that fast on one. This is my scooter 'The Enterprise' https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...68cc000085.jpg

I now have funding approved from the NDIS its taken just over 4 months, now I have to go through the process Via a co ordinator and the OT to get my electric wheel chair designed to fit my needs and manufactuerd after the quote is submitted to NDIS. so I think it will be closer to xmas before I'm mobile. With the virus things are realy slow.
I need a chair as a scooter would not be practical for me in the house etc..
There are 4wd chairs . avail in camo or flames [thumbsupbig]

congratulations on NDIS!! I was recently accepted on it too!!! I hope your electric wheelchair is sooner than you think :) They look fab! I have a mate with the top one.Super cool with flames! I preferred the mobility scooter as the power chair I was a bit uncomfy on and it made me dizzy, house has been an issue as scooter as you say, does not fit, but I have a manual wheelchair coming with a smart drive to power it and push for me. Currently have a wheelchair on loan but self propel is a struggle as have upper body disabilities as well as legs. There are so many cool mobility devices these days, it is wonderful :) My trusty landie will be having some different modifcations done to assist me to keep driving as well.

I love my D2 :D My Impala is under the tarp, and my HQ panelvan is between it and my disco. They are about to go into a shed and be locked up safe and sound and so I can work in them a bit easier. I am my own woman again so finally able to get stuck into my metal loves :) Bonus my dad is now home too as his work has slowed with the virus so he can help me with things now haha!

So they had on their hands a heavily intoxicated frail aged citizen and his scooter and no facilities for either. Tried to hand him off to City Watchhouse who took the attitude "you **** the bed now you have to lay in it". Next offered him to PA Hospital who take sick people not old drunks. Grandpa got parked at a reluctant Coorparoo police station until he sobered up enough to be driven home and his scooter delivered next day. I gather that Inspector and Senior Sergeant were not impressed and the booze bus crew got tongue lashing and had their cards marked. I wonder if any got shifted to delightful rural outposts like Urandangie or Thargomindah.

Depending on the scooter would determine the outcome now:

Some are considered Pedestrians, no license required etc.
Other more powerful/faster units are considered a vehicle and subject to road laws (including mobile phone use).

In Qld. you can be and will be charged with DUI on a bicycle, on horseback, driving a sulky, and definitely on a mobility scooter.

And electric skateboards, sedgway et al, basically any motorized or wheeled vehicle.

You must not have a rating system for mobility scooter types.

And DUI can only apply to anything recognised as a Vehicle under the definitions [emoji6]
A skateboard is not a vehicle.
