The fatal day is likely to fall in July - but fewer than 50%
of the estimated 500,000 scooters in use, some costing in excess of £10,000,
weighing 250 kilos or more, and capable of 8mph, are insured.
Despite 2,500 Google searches a month by consumers for mobility scooter insurance, Blue Badge Mobility - which provides mobility equipment rescue, recovery and insurance - estimates fewer than half of mobility scooters in use are insured not just for loss or damage, but against the risk of injuring pedestrians.
"'Shinbone Sunday' will drop on a sunny weekend in July: pavements will be busy because schools are starting to slow down as exams come to an end, and tourist destinations will fill up - but it could be expensive for mobility scooter users," said Iain Macauley, a spokesman for Blue Badge Mobility.
