Preventing Road Rage On Electric Scooters With 3 Wheels

Folding Motor Scooters With 3 Wheels or 4 Wheels Can Invite Road Rage

September 24, 2007

It's important to remember that although you're generally out of the way of most traffic on the street and road, you're always at risk for being a victim of road rage while using electric scooters with 3 wheels or 4 wheels. Road rage is violence exhibited by drivers in traffic - but remember - traffic can be an aggregation of both vehicles and pedestrians! As a result, you and your 3 wheel scooter or electric scooter with 4 wheels is bound to run into some rather aggressive passer-bys or inadvertently cause a little aggravation yourself.

Your best safety defense against this situation is to follow mobility scooter driving rules and remain calm. Easier said than done - we know! But you must remember that you can not control the way others maneuver their vehicles, their battery-operated scooters, or their feet. You can only control the maneuverability of your very own personal, light medical scooter.

Avoiding traffic in the first place can certainly help and this is a simple matter of firing up your mobility scooter and leaving your home for your destination ten or fifteen minutes earlier. Or you can even take an alternative route. If this alternative route takes a bit longer to get to your destination, leave even earlier and learn how to enjoy the scenery.

If along your travel, someone suddenly cuts you off or acts as though they didn't see you, don't allow them to stress you. Your compact disability scooter is equipped with an audio system. Use it to attract attention to yourself so that others can see you and avoid a terrible accident.

Forget offensive sign language and forget cursing or shouting. Those actions won't get you anywhere and can delay you from reaching your destination for a considerable length of time should a nasty confrontation take place. Remember the golden rule: "Better Safe Than Sorry." Your friends and family members want to you travel home safe and sound, so let's put their worries to rest and do our part in squashing argumentative travelers.
