Cevap
The 12-year-old child matches with the Class 2 restriction. The dual carriageway matches with the flashing amber beacon requirement. The eyesight requirement matches with reading a plate from 12.3 metres. The transition to pavement matches with the 4 mph speed switch restriction.
Each scenario maps to a unique, strict Highway Code regulation for mobility scooters: age minimums (14 for Class 3), mandatory beacons on dual carriageways, modified eyesight standards (12.3 metres), and mechanical speed limiters for pavement use.
