Lobbying on behalf of scooterists and the scooter industry
The Rally is an opportunity to remind politicians, and motorists, about the role scooters play in reducing congestion and pollution and easing pressure on parking spaces. We advocate the environmental benefits of scooters and call for a number of measures to promote and protect scootering, including:
• The implementation of designated and signed ‘safe routes’;
• access by low-powered scooters to use certain designated bicycle lanes;
• filtering in stationery or slow moving traffic;
• boxed turns at certain busy intersections;
• the introduction of six monthly registrations and dedicated scooter training courses;
• car licence holders to be permitted to ride 50cc scooters, provided training is undertaken.
