Is it against the law to drive a power chair or scooter in the street?

Question by Donna M: Is it against the law to drive a power chair or scooter in the street?
Some sidewalks are cracked, too narrow, or raised in sections because of tree roots that have grown underneath. Is it against the law to drive in the streets in Maryland under those conditions for the owner of the chairs/scooters? Would those individuals get a ticket?

Best answer:

Answer by UCANTCME
The same things happens where I live and I dont think that you ever see a police officer give a ticket to one of them even though they are very dangerous on the streets and they should abide by the vehicle laws………..

Q&A: Will Medicare pay for a car lift for a power chair?

5 Wheel Mobility Scooters — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:00:10 +0000

Question by xinerevelle: Will Medicare pay for a car lift for a power chair?
My mom has a power chair (not a scooter) and is spending more and more time in it to get around. She wants to get out of the house occasionally, like to go to the store, church or even the doctor’s office, and is no longer able to manage with a walker or a cane. We need to get a lift platform (I don’t know what it’s really called) that attaches to the back of a car on a hitch and allows you to roll the power chair onto it so you can take it with you. I’ve seen them online for $ 1000+, and since she’s on disability and Medicare, that’s definitely beyond our means. Will Medicare cover this like they did the chair itself?

There are a number of organisations in Aus that may help. Centrelink sometimes lends a hand.
Talk to someone at Scooters Australia in Melb, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth. They should be able to direct you to an appropriate organisation.
