AutoExec Summary
Mobility scooters, also known as buggies or gophers, are a helpful way for people with mobility issues to get around. They can be used on the road under certain conditions, but must be operated in accordance with pedestrian road rules. Misuse of these devices can lead to accidents, and users must be mindful of the regulations in their state or territory. Mobility scooters are not permitted on bicycle paths and must not be used on motorways or highways. In NSW, users must have a reasonable need for a mobility scooter due to physical disability or limited mobility.
