Allow blue badge holders to use personal electric vehicles on public land

For me and other disabled people, using an electric scooter or Segway is the only way to leave the house and have independence. However, we risk being fined and getting penalty points. Allow blue badge holders to use personal electric vehicles on public land after an assessment.

I think there should be a law in place to make sure people are road worthy to keep other road users safe. I have tried a wheelchair, electric wheelchair and mobility scooter and have had issues with all of them. An electric scooter works perfectly for me and I know this is also the case for others. If this law was passed it I think it would change the lives of many people.
