- Drive close behind to make them move onto the pavement
- Sound your horn until they pull over
- Overtake at once, however narrow the road

Mobility scooters travel slowly and their users are vulnerable. Rule 220 of The Highway Code reminds drivers that these vehicles are hard to see and slow-moving, so be careful, patient and allow extra room.
