Mobility scooter comments clarified

Comments made in a Taieri Times article earlier this month about the ''bad driving behaviour'' of some mobility scooter users in Mosgiel were not aimed at an elderly man who died in a road accident in the town.

Motorist Bernadette Hay raised concerns after seeing an elderly man ride his mobility scooter towards oncoming traffic in Mosgiel.

Mrs Hay said she believed that man was one of many mobility scooter users in Mosgiel with bad driving behaviour.

However, she was not referring to the 88-year-old Mosgiel man who died after a light-truck was in a collision with his mobility scooter in Mosgiel this month.

The police investigation into that accident was continuing and the cause had yet to be determined.
