To be so angry at a mobility scooter

[B2Bananamum]

Okay so i've been ill all weekend and today my MIL took my eldest son (3) for a few hours this morning so i could get a break.
They were walking along a pavement and my son walked ahead to put something in the bin and speeding around the corner came a guy on a scooter that knocked my son flying!
He has a huge graze on his head, both knees and elbows The nasty old B just told my MIL to keep a closer eye on the child! ( she was about 3 ft away) AIBU to be so angry about this? Surely there is something to say the shouldn't be going so fast on pavements?! Or take a eyesight test or... something!
All i can say is he was lucky it happened with nanny who was a lot nicer than i would or been.

YANBU. Nasty old twat. Perhaps he will feel the business end of a mobility scooter one day himself and then he'll change his tune. Here's hoping! Hope your son is ok now.

I'm involved in NHS wheelchair provision.

We were asked to comment on this ages ago but haven't heard of any changes to the law yet

I see many such twats at our local shops speeding along puffing on a fag inches from all the shop doors being a menace to the children going in and coming out of the pre-school.

There is a steep slope just past the parade of shops though and I have been gratified to see them going out of control a few times.

Your poor DS
