I have told you of a car that can be driven by the person you suggested , why not google ligier / microcar

Assuming we're talking about somebody in the UK, then they do still require a licence - just a different class of one to a normal car.

France, and other countries, differ.

the bus, taxi or as said mobility scooter. What is this about "qualifying" for a mobility scooter? There is no requirement for that.

Use by non-disabled people

If you aren’t disabled, you can only drive a mobility scooter or powered wheelchair if you’re:

• demonstrating the vehicle before it’s sold
• training a disabled user
• taking the vehicle to or from maintenance or repair

Therefore you must have some provable disability to use one

However, it gets abused because there is virtually no policing of the sales/hire/use of them
