electric wheelchair liability insurance

Can anyone suggest anywhere?
If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

  • Hi I have had this conversation a while ago with my insurance company ,your wheelchair is covered by your House Contents Insurance in case of Theft and Public Liability.
    Please remember it is against the law to drive on the road unless you have the correct documents and lights etc ,the police normally turn a blind eye but you must watch out .

    The driving on the road thing isn't illegal if you're following the green cross code and acting as a pedestrian - you can't always get on a pavement and sometimes there is no pavement to get on. So in following the green cross code you have to be as near to the kerb as practical and facing oncoming traffic. When you're using an electric wheelchair you're still a pedestrian. ;)
