Get yourself a whip for the strip!

This just in: Brits have officially claimed the title as worst drivers... of mobility scooters. Word on the street has it (well, according to Pam from Benners who's always got one eye on the action), that Brits can get a bit bonkers when they're buzzing around Benidorm on their mobility scooters. Let's just say...several fences and palm trees have been harmed in the process 😬🌴 That's why we've called upon F1 legend, Johnny Herbert, to spill the goss on all things driving safety (race cars, mobility scooters - same thing, right?), and we've got a cheeky promo for you lot over 55 who fancy hiring a scooter for FREE during your Benidorm jolly. Full deets and terms are at the bottom of the page.

Mobility scooter tips from Johnny Herbert

When our good pal Jonny Herbert - AKA, ex-F1 racer and Le Mans 24 winner - heard about all this Brit-fuelled chaos in Beni, he was well up for dishing out some tips and tricks to avoid any pesky fines, stay on track, and...well, upright.

Check out the video to see exactly what went down along Benidorm's strip during his visit!

Johnny Herbert's top tips for mobility scooter safety

  1. Brake Test: Before you set off make sure you’re aware of how the scooter operates and most importantly test the brakes. Take a few practice rides close to where you pick up the mobility scooter and be familiar with how quickly you can come to a stop. In Formula One it’s always who can be last of the late-breakers, on a mobility scooter that is not the case.

  2. Stay on the track pavements: Whatever you do, stay on the pavements. There have been a number of changes to mobility scooters rules in Benidorm. The rules are to stay on the pavement and not to go on the roads, cycle or bus lanes. Don’t go riding on the beach either, the last thing you want to do is get stuck on there, there’s no F1 marshals to get you out of that trouble.

  3. Stay straight, don’t get tipsy: Avoid steep and uneven ground and don’t approach curbs at an angle, it’s the quickest way to flipping your mobility scooter on its side and can result in injuries.

  4. No phone zone: The use of phones are not permitted on mobility scooters – so no talking to your mates or taking selfies. Similar to driving a car this is against the law and classed as dangerous driving.

  5. Don’t speed: You’re not trying to get pole position in qualifying or going for the world championship. Don’t be a speed demon. Mobility scooters are not for racing. Stick to the speed limit and if you’re driving with a friend, don’t race them!

  6. Finally…Yes, you’re in Benidorm on holiday and you may have a drink or two, but don’t drink and drive or use the vehicle as a taxi. It’s one of the causes of accidents when on holiday, don’t risk it or take the biscuit!
