Scooters have become all the rage for elderly people with mobility issues. As one gets older, it isn't always easy to turn over the reigns and gain assistance. However, many elderly are zipping along and listening to tunes from the latest MP3 player. Scooters can travel at 8 mph and have even caused legal mishaps. A man in Britain was arrested for "drunk driving" on his scooter. As a matter of fact, there was no legal precendent for his arrest, and he was let go. Scooters range from those with many bells and whistles to quite simple mobility chairs. Though wheelchairs do the trick for many people, they are less popular due to their negative image. Sometimes, scooters do not work on public transportation, as wheelchairs do. However, if scooters help elderly people to keep their chins up, few can argue with that.
