Can I drive a mobility scooter on the motorway?

Whilst the answer to our last FAQ (Can I use a mobility scooter on the road?) might have been 'yes', the answer to this question is definitely 'NO'.

No, you cannot drive a mobility scooter on the motorway under any circumstances.

As with sit-on lawnmowers, powered wheelchairs, mopeds, segways, quad bikes, electric push bikes and old fashioned milk floats, the law is very clear. No, no and no!

Safety First


As with a car, mobility scooter users who drive on the road must follow the highway code at all times.

Dangerous drivers of mobility scooters can be prosecuted under the law in the same way as any other road user.

Fortunately for the owner of the over-laden mobility scooter and the driver filming him, there were no traffic police about when this clip was made:



Otherwise, they may both have found themselves in court!
