Artistic…

Advantages: Distinctive, eye-catching, easily noticed, not likely to be stolen. Disadvantages: Distinctive, eye-catching and easily noticed.

Safety first…

Having insisted his daughter put on her crash helmet, this guy then drove off wearing his huge sombrero! However, I suppose you no longer see the family of five plus dog plus six bags of shopping on a clapped out scooter with no lights heading the wrong way down the street at night. Ah, the good old days…

Scooter ITV’s

The mobile ITV (MOT) unit for scooters will be in Nerja on May 20th, 21st and 22nd. The inspections will take place, as usual, on the site of the Sunday Market, near to Avenida de la Constitución. All scooters over three years old must be inspected every two years under the law passed in November 2006.

All aboard!

It was nine o’clock in the morning when a police patrol observed a scooter carrying out dodgy manoeuvres in the las Flores area of Málaga.
