Occasionally I have to take to the streets of Hythe on foot, today was just such a day. I'm crossing the main drag at a point between a pedestrianised area and No Entry to the right with vehicular traffic turning left, the only traffic that might arise had the road not been during it's pedestrianised period (it opens at 3 to traffic) would come from the right, no traffic would come from the left, so I stepped off the kerb to cross looking right first, luckily I glanced left.. Only to have to quickly step back as a maniac at full tilt on the mobility of near death scooter from hell nearly totally took me out.
He, not really that old and didn't look particularly unfit (no crutches or walking stick on board, no limbs missing)didn't bat an eyelid in the middle of the road turns straight into the one way street the wrong way and hurtles off up the middle of the street scattering all around him
It's a nightmare even when your in a vehicle, the place is often gridlocked with them, I find it very annoying they are not restricted to the pavement and don't obey traffic rules when they travel on the Queens Highway, reminds me of certain road bike commuting types...
I didn't react, just moaned at the lady in the bank as you do..
