Daily Podcast: I’m Beat
Not vanquished; I remain bloodied but unbowed. I mean tired. OK; web surfing, blogging, editing, emailing and trying to keep the lights on isn't as physically demanding as, say, anything involving physical activity. But, uh, where was I going with this? Oh right, fatigue. So I'm going to cheat… here's what the Brits (and slackers) call a potted version of an article headlined "Curb for pensioners scooting too fast." Oh, and Brits spell curb "kerb;" so don't get to thinking the Telegraph's editors are clever clogs. "'Mobility scooters are used by elderly and disabled people, so we are not talking about young joy riders,' he [Chief Insp Bob Musgrove] said. 'They are not designed to go fast in the normal sense of the word, but if they collide with someone they can cause a serious injury.' Although this issue has been raised in Rugby, the message is the same throughout the county. People riding mobility scooters should be aware of other people and should slow down in crowded areas. 'Those who consistently ride irresponsibly could face court action.'" Pistonheads rule! [NB: TTAC does not condone irresponsible scootering. Always wear your scooter cape in inclement weather. And thanks to JJ Daddy-O for the link.]
