Comment on New Motoring Laws for Mobility Scooters by rona houlton

About time too!. Unfortunately – as this is dated 2010, little seems to have moved forward as far as I have been able to research.
Recently I was ploughed into by a mobility scooter and injured. Whe he stopped he was most irate with me telling me that he had shouted at me to move out of his way. The driver of the scooter would not provide any personal details, saying he wasn’t obliged to do so. In his attempt to make a quick get away he drove over my foot so adding more injuries to the orginal ones.

My 2 year old daughter was run over by a mobility scooter on 22.01.11. She was dragged under the wheels and hit with such force that a section fell off the scooter. The staff at A&E agreed that she had been incredibly lucky in only sustaining cuts and bruises and it could have been much worse. The police are only able to go and speak to the driver and cannot take legal action. The event traumatised both my child and myself and for me, this certainly doesn’t feel enough. I feel at a loss as to what to do, as it seems there is very little that I can do. The law clearly needs changing before more people are hurt or killed. I understand that the scooters provide great independence for many and do not want them to be banned, but legislation around these vehicles is clearly required. I feel so helpless, and like I can’t even protect my own child. We were walking along the footpath, she was holding my hand, and was run over from behind! The fact that nothing can be done, and this lady (who never actually apologised) can carry on driving both distresses and infuriates me in equal measure. I wonder how many more people have to go through what we have gone through before anything is done?

Comment on Appealing Parking Tickets by kerry

i have no idea if im in the right place but can someone please tell my if i am right? it would be a huge help thanks xxxxx

i have lived in my property for 4 years, the parking around my home is one long parking bay which fits many cars in (permit holders only) the end of one of the bays has a drop curb within it (not mirroring another drop curb just a relular high curb) some people get parking tickets but most dont, as parking has become a issue as its limited and many people have two cars we have often wondered if its safe to park in the designated parking bay altough theres a drop curb within it, we asked politety a traffic warden who was out the other day and he said “yes u can u wont get a ticket”, however i got a ticket yesterday for obstructing a bay? ive done some research and the traffic management act 2004 clearly states u can not! obstruct a parking bay, but there is a exemtion ………………….(2) The first exception is where the vehicle is parked wholly within a designated parking place or any other part of the carriageway where parking is specifically authorised. A “designated parking place” means a parking place designated by order under section 6, 9, 32(1)(b) or 45 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27). am i correct and i shouldnt have to pay the fine as its been made into a parking bay with signs up giving people the right with a permit to park there.we have the exemption which excudes us from obstructing it and reciveing a ticket?
kind regards kerry

Barry: all employees (apart from the police force) have the statutory right to receive a payslip, either just before they are paid or at the time.

Are you sure your daughter is an employee, i.e. that she is not contracted or freelance? If so, she also has the right to know how much she will be paid and how often.

Which statutes detail an employees right to a payslip.

My daughter does not receive a payslip from her employer.

Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.

Comment on Employment Rights When Working From Home by simon

That depends on whether they are employed, self-employed or workers. An employed teleworker working from home will have the same basic rights as an employed homeworker.

Do teleworkers have the same employment rights as homeworkers?
