Graphic titled “We think people using mobility aids should be allowed to get away from danger at running speed” A young woman using a manual wheelchair with a power attachment is under a streetlight in the dark. There are a group of people standing just outside the light, looking threatening or at least intimidating. The woman’s eyes are wide with fright. At the bottom, hashtag MobilityJustice and the Wheels for Wellbeing logo
All Disabled people should be legally able to speed up to "running" or "cycling"-equivalent speeds to get out of danger, whatever mobility devices we're using, at all times of day and night, and wherever we are travelling.
