More details from petition creator

Some of these wheelchairs travel at excess speeds approaching 8 to 10 mph. There is no need for these vehicles to go faster than 4 mph. They are becoming a nuisance, they often don't have an audible warning device and the first you konw of their present is a nudge on the ankle.
