How safe do you feel on public footpaths? | What The Fuss

Since the Active Mobility Act came into force in 2018, off-road accidents involving active mobility devices have fallen by 70 per cent from 2019 to 2022. Come 2025, tighter restrictions will be placed on the usage of personal mobility aids (PMAs) to curb misuse by able-bodied people.
