Hit and Run with a Mobility Scooter???  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com 5 years ago

Ok I want to thank you all that were trying to help me get to sleep but just before I logged out I had a quick look at the news and just couldn't believe it when I read this article!
I know it sounds funny but this is serious - he knocks an old lady flying and then drives off, shouting he was busy and couldn't stop - the woman was lying in the road for pitys sake, anything could have happened to her - what do you think of this?

Wolfie is crossing his legs and biting hard on his lip to stop laughing! Sorry but I have a wicked but mean sense of humour, strewth talk about careless driving! But fancy saying I'm busy, what was he up to, practicing for the formula one race? Or off to make sure the shops don't sell out of milk! Talk about keep death of roads, I think keep death of the pavement. There is no excuse and certainly not saying you are busy, everyone has to take responsibility for their action. Do you know the sad thing in life, nobody WANTS to take responsibility and what's the better if charges are brought against him, he'll blame her for obstructing her or something equally stupid!


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (14488)   ranked 89 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

D'oh I'm getting tired, meant to read, what's the BETTING if charges are brought against him, he'll blame her for obstructing HIM or something equally stupid!


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

I know exactly what you mean honey - my first reaction was to burst into fits of laughter but then I read what happened and thought if that were my Gran I would be fuming! Charges should be brought against the man - not because he hit her neccesarily but because he went and left her there - he could have tried to get her help!
And I knew what you meant ickle bruv - I must be getting to know you too well!
AS for getting tired why don't you take your advice to me and think about last night? That woke you up didn't it! LMAO xxx


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (14488)   ranked 89 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

My performance, well you'd be proud of me, if you saw, er then maybe (blushes deeply) I think I become an animal, oh I am, that's ok then, you could always sing me a lullaby x


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

I am sure I would be proud sweety - a bit jealous maybe but definitely proud! lol I would sing you a lullaby but you would have nightmares if I sang! xxx

That is very sad news especially when he did not stop to see if she was ok or needed medical attention. I wouldn't be surprised if he has to do time for that. I hope she is going to be ok!


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

To an elderly lady any injury can be serious and I just cannot believe that anyone has anything that is so urgent they would not even try and get her help but would leave her lying in the road! I do pray she will be ok and if I hear any updates I will let you know! xxx

how thought less of the man to darn busy to stop and help and old lady he just hit.
I dont care if it was a tricycle that hit her she now has a broken leg and wrist am hoping that he has to pay all hospital bills and any other treatment she might hqave to have and then jail time then maybe he wont be to busy to help someone in need!


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Well there won't be hospital bills as we have the nhs but he should pay some form of compensation! I know as the guy was in a mobility scooter he may not personally have been able to help her physically but he could have gotten help and reassured her - heck he didn't even apologise! xxxx


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lakota12 (23196)  5 years ago

so ignorant that man!

Hi mummymo! Gosh, I really don't know what to say! You hit someone and can't stop because you are busy or in a hurry? What kind of reasoning is that? I hope he learns his lesson well when now that he is charged. Just my thoughts! Take care and have a nice day! :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Thank you faith for sharing your thoughts and it is good to see you! I do hope he develops a conscience now and that he is punished in some way! xxx


myLot reputation of 99/100. faith210 (8505)  5 years ago

Hi dear friend! I really hope he does! Take care and have a nice day! :)

Wow I thought you had done a hit and run in the Scooter then
So even those are not safe anymore either but I should have known as the amount of times I have nearly been run over
It is awful and I think People need to start looking for their Concious and their Heart


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Well said my angel! No it wasn't me, not yet anyway and I wouold like to think if I did have an accident like that I would at least try and get some help and not just keep going! Mind you next time you see mobility scooter in the heading of one of my discussions it will probably be that I have knocked over a whole display in the supermarket! xxx


myLot reputation of 95/100. gabs8513 (23375)  5 years ago

Well yes that is true
But guess what I do not need a Mobility Scooter for that a trolley does me for that hehehehe xxx

that driver should be caught and put behind bars.....those people who are busy with their own lives and are careless about there surroundings cannot be human....


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

I think it is very sad that people feel they are too busy to help someone that they have caused injury to - specially an elderly lady who is probably very lucky not to be more seriously hurt - I just cannot understand the lack of compassion or any sense of responsibility for their actions! xxx

I know I shouldn't laugh but how often does this happen? My gosh I can't imagine saying yeah a motor scooter broke my leg. I feel for the lady and think that this guy should recieve a ticket and a saftry course on how to drive a motor scooter. LOL!! do they even have courses for that. LOL!! have a nice one.


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Some people are so dangerous even in something as slow as a motor scooter! As far as I know you don't get safety courses - I have to use either one of these or a wheelchair to go to the supermarket and I have to say they are really easy to stop - this guy should be left stuck at home for a while - Grounded_ and maybe then he'd be more careful! xxx


myLot reputation of 95/100. bellaofchaos (3112)  5 years ago

here here ground him and take away his scooter for a week,LOL!!

i have not checked the report. i think it makes no difference, i shall surely find it funny no matter what it says! i picture a chap looking like benny hill in a uncontrollable scooter.

how can you not laugh?


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Sweety I couldn't stop laughing until I realised that an elderly lady had been injured and left lying in the road as the driver thought he was in too much of a rush to stop or get her help! If that was my Gran I would be livid! I am just glad it was a man that did it and people couldn#t blame me - yep I have to use these to get round the supermarket and I tell you what if I didn't have steps outside my house I would get around in one! xxx

I've been wanting to get to this one, Mummy, and I finally have. Geez, what an @$$, not stopping like that! This guy's got a serious problem with priorities. "I'm busy"???? I think he should be punished with having his mobility vehicle taken away for a few days. It might straighten him up quick. He might learn to appreciate it a little more if he has to get around without it - like having to wait in the street at the mercy of other drivers. Arse!


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 4 out of 1,334 in yahoo.com  5 years ago

Oh and I am so glad that you made it here nova - I love your way with words! Bella and I think he should have his scooter taken away for a week and be grounded! LMAO He would probably start bleating about his human rights then - as though his rights are the only ones that matter - as you said so well - ARSE! xxxx
