MOTORISED MOBILITY DEVICES
These days being elderly or disabled does not mean you have to be confined to your home. Some of our frail and infirmed citizens have surrendered their driving licences or simply stopped driving. This can be due to age or medical problems such as failing eyesight or diminishing reflexes and judgement. However, they have found they can still get around town using a Motorised Mobility Devices (MMD’s).
As more of our elderly citizens are taking to the streets in MMD’s it is timely to start educating our citizens, clear up a few misconceptions about MMD’s and to answer a few questions.
To this end Gippsland Road Safe in conjunction with its partners Victoria Police and Latrobe City Council will be conducting free information sessions to be held at the International Power Traffic School in Morwell. The first session will be on Wednesday 27th of July.
The goal of these sessions is to reduce the number of accidents involving MMD’s and to increase the knowledge of users in the areas of the safe use and maintenance of MMDs and to increase awareness of Road Rules and safe speeds. The sessions will offer support, training and knowledge sharing to users who suffer an impairment and who are required to use MMD’s.
Activities to be conducted include:
Introductory sessions by membersof RoadSafe;
Presentationsby Victoria Police in relation to definingwhat is apedestrian,speedand power limits for MMD’s, road rules, safety tips, alcoholand other offences, insurance and what to do in the event ofbreakdowns;
Presentation from GMS Rehabilitation on how to maintain the device safely and servicing requirements;
Every participant will be provided with a free safety packincluding a flag to attach to their device, a pre-safety checklist, a free helmet meeting Australian Standards and a high visibility vest.
For further information on sessions contact Leading Senior Constable Brett Godden. In the meantime, here are the answers to a few of the most commonly asked questions in relation to Motorised Mobility Devices:
|
Is a MMD a motor vehicle? Generally speaking, no, it is not. A MMD only becomes a motor vehicle if it can travel at more than 10 km per hour or or has greater than 200 watts of power. |
Who can use a MMD? A person can use a motorised mobility device if they are injured or disabled and also if they are unable to walk or have difficulty in walking. |
Do I need a licence or medical examination to operate a MMD? No you do not. However you should speak to your GP or occupational therapist before buying one. |
|
Can a MMD be registered with VicRoads? No, it cannot as it is not a motor vehicle. However, if your MMD can travel at more than 10 km/h or has more than 200 watts of power then it is a motor vehicle and must be registered. . If this is the case you cannot use it on footpaths. |
Do I have to have Insurance for my MMD? A motorised wheelchair is not required to have third party insurance.
However, there are public liability policies, house contents and personal effects policies and personal accident policies. Speak to an insurance broker about your choices. |
What can I do if my MMD breaks down whilst I am out? Always make sure that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. RACV provides roadside emergency and breakdown assistance on 13 72 28 but if you call remember to ask if a charge is involved. |
|
Is the driver of a MMD a pedestrian or a driver of a vehicle? The driver of a MMD is a pedestrian. At law a pedestrian includes – A person driving a motorised wheelchair that cannot travel at over 10 kilometres per hour (on level ground); and a person in a non-motorised wheelchair; and a person pushing a motorised or non-motorised wheelchair; and a person in or on a wheeled recreational device or wheeled toy. |
Can I drive my MMD in traffic? NO you cannot. When driving a MMD you are a pedestrian and must travel on the footpath. You must obey all road rules as a pedestrian and drivers of motor vehicles must treat you as a pedestrian. You must cross a road by the shortest direct route. When crossing at traffic lights you may start to cross on the green light or green man. You must use a footpath where available. If you need to travel on the road you must keep as close to the kerb as possible. |
Can I be charged with drink driving a MMD? Yes, you can. Remember you are a pedestrian and you should not operate a MMD if you are affected by alcohol. If your MMD is powered by a 200w motor and will not do more than 10km/h on level ground the offence is being Drunk in a public place. If the device is capable of more than 10km/h or is powered by a motor greater than 200w, then you will be charged under the Road Safety Act with the appropriate drink driving offence, such as Exceeding .05 or Driving Under the Influence (DUI). |
