Stay-Safe committee hogwash...
ABC news (Sydney) tonight ran a piece on motorised scooters for the edlerly.
Shock horror. 71 deaths in around the last decade have occured with an elderly driver at the throttle (yes, Virginia, around eight people a year die on motorised scooters in Australia)
Shock Horror x2.. Speed...yes a cracking 10km/hr....may have been a factor !!!!
(play down any other geriatric problems CHD, Stroke, respiratory disease, Diabeties etc. )
Who writes this brain-dead-drivel? Worse still, who actually believes it???
P.S.
In 2007 some 44 Australians died from falling out of bed. Perhaps they were beds... err...with wheels?
