Just a thought .As class 3 mobility scooters are registered for the road? What is the position on them using bus lanes?

Class 3 vehicles are not allowed on motorways, bicycle tracks or bus/cycle lanes, but are legally allowed on dual carriageways.

You are absolutely correct regarding the bus lane. This law is absolutely ridiculous, can you imagine the situation with an empty bus lane and a mobility scooter in the middle of the main carriageway.

I would think that the police would be out sharpish. I was at Heeley Bottom some years ago and a chap in a class 3 scooter was going through the lights with a police escort behind him lights flashing and that was not in a bus lane.

Cannot see the problem knock for knock. Cars block pavements but they are not happy when the same happens on the road.
