Invalid carriages were usually single seater road vehicles, buggies, or self-propelled vehicles for disabled people. They pre-dated modern electric mobility scooters and, from the 1920s, were generally powered by small gasoline/petrol engines, although some were battery powered. They were usually designed without foot-operated controls. The term "invalid carriage" persists in Great Britain in the regulation of mobility devices for disabled people, but excludes most of the more powerful, motorised types.

reason
| - Source does not mention motorways. The vehicles described above are not legally invalid carriages under current regulations since they're capable of over 8 mph. If they're not allowed on motorways it's not because they're invalid carriages, more likely because they don't meet other regulations (en)
