Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of the inclusion of mobility scooters in road vehicle passing guidance within the highway code.
Rule H2 of The Highway Code states that pedestrians include wheelchair and mobility scooter users, and Rule 163 of The Highway Code makes it clear that drivers should allow at least 2 meters of space and keep to a low speed when passing a pedestrian in the road.
