My daughter (aged 12) was standing at the bustop talking to her friend this afternoon and an elderley man in a power assisted wheelchair drove into the back of her knocked her over and ran over her leg he then just carried on his way without attempting to ask her if she was ok or apologise. Several people also waiting at the bustop helped her up and saw she was ok.
Surprisingly she does not appear to be too upset by it although her leg does look as if it will be badly bruised. I am furious. I have previously thought these chairs are really dangerous to be driven along the pavement by people who quite often have no idea about how to manouvre them properly. Whilst I have every sympathy with people who have disabilities I do think something should be done about how they are driven and also perhaps some kind of insurance although I am not sure what. What are other peoples views.
