Speaking of scooters, did anyone catch this horrible news today?

People who have never had to push someone else around in a wheel chair all day don't have a clue how exhausting that is. My family has done it a couple of times. And had to have it once myself after surgery and we were meeting friends a couple of weeks later at the parks, when I was certainly not up to walking long distances. I don't begrudge anyone that's in need of a chair for wanting a scooter instead. It saves everyone in the group a lot of struggle, and makes for a much more pleasant day.
The bigger issue is whether the person in the scooter is aware of what they are doing, knows how to drive, and cares to pay attention.

I could not impose on my family like that either. It is rough pushing a chair up hill even for my son that is in real good shape. When my foot was in an ortho boot I rented a scooter from the outside vendor for a week and we took Uber’s with it. I didn’t hit anyone though a few people cutting in front of me narrowly were safe. Would these people jump in front of a bicycle or car like they do a scooter. Dumb humans.
Scooters if you drive a car you can drive a scooter. A few laps around the lobby (big at Bonnet Creek) and I mastered the steering and picked a controlled speed.
Pay attention to the incline of flight of passage for 4 stories and 2 steep ones in addition inside. I would have sat that out if I wasn’t in a cart. A wheel chair would have been unkind to whoever got stuck pushing it despite the kind gesture to do so.

We took my daughter to the parks the past 3 years when she was 1, 2, and 3. We have a car seat/stroller combo that is great for take Lyfts with as they require a car seat. We found that it was way easier to park the stroller for the day at the beginning and carry her the entire day. It was much faster than having to push and maneuver the stroller around the crowds and have to find parking for every attraction. Last fall, my mother came and rented a scooter from MK. The thing was really slow, so we actually found it faster to get a wheel chair and push her with my daughter on her lap. It would have been way too cumbersome to push the wheelchair and the stroller the whole time.

Since most of them don't and are too lazy to live a healthy lifestyle, it would be a fine convo….
And you are able to quantify if someone has a genuine medical need for one just with a look . Wow i wish everyone was just like you .

Yep, you're right, but at the time I posted that, they were a little 'short' on information. Thanks!
Still horrible news.
