In the video this elderly lady in Sheffield decided to ride through the flood water on her mobility scooter, she makes it through and over to the other side but this type of thing is best avoided.

Although her mobility scooter is still operating once she is out of the worst of it i wouldn’t be suprised if it would cause some problems maybe within a few days of her having gone through the water.

There is also the fact that she was taking a bit of a chance there with the conditions on that part of the road being quite bad, you can see that its a busy bit of road, the back wheels of her mobility scooter look almost completely submerged at one point.

If she didn’t at least end up with wet feet then i would be suprised.

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing this video, its of a group of ladies who all suffer from Multiple Sclerosis who decided to form their own formation display team.

They are called the Red Wheelies and are the only known mobility scooter formation display team in the UK, with a combined age of 606, amazing.

Jackie Weeden is the organiser, and the displays that they put on help to raise money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis, check out the video, i think they are really good, what do you think?

They have also attempted travelling the length of Hadrian’s Wall for the same cause, take a look.

You might have seen this already but isn’t it one of the most daft and dangerous situations that you have seen involving a mobility scooter.

Fortunately the majority of mobility scooter users are very sensible and responsible with the way they use their own but examples of stupidity like this one does nothing for the overall reputation.

While mobility scooters can help you transport a small amount of shopping and take along other mobility aids with you like a walking stick or crutches, they were never and will never be intended for transporting large rolls or carpet along a road.

This guy not only put himself in danger but also those who were using the same roads at the time, no matter how determined he might have been to get the roll of carpet home or to wherever he was taking it , it simply is not worth the risk to do something as dangerous as he did.
