Not say i dun empathise the old man

But ever personally witness elderly riding PMA at tampines bus interchange and buang into public from the back

Imo some is simply anyhow chiong regardless the crowd and traffic

PMA rider must have thot he can outrun the BMW...

Walao eh PMA not supposed to chiong across road le. It is dangerous since their reaction time is slower.

Currently there are law and guide for E-Scooter as well as PMD

I guess it should also apply to PMA as the requirement for them is too lax, as long as they have a letter from the doc proving they have issue standing or moving they can simply get a PMA and ride to anywhere they like be it bus interchange, food court, mall and road

Hence the reason why some elderly misused it

They switch to making middle platform to encourage jaywalking. Not joking.

How about sleep walking ?

A lot of old fogeys in my area use PMAs… totally ignore traffic lights when crossing wan.

He doesn't even need to walk to the pedestrian crossing, yet he still want to take shortcut and jaywalk.

maybe electricity expensive, he trying to conserve the battery of the PMA
