Thoughts on e-scooters??
We’re continuing to receive reports of e-scooters being ridden illegally across and would like to remind residents of the following:
🛴 It is currently illegal to ride an e-scooter on a public road or space anywhere in . They may only be ridden on private land, with the owner’s permission.
🛴 If you are caught riding an e-scooter on a public highway, park, pavement or cycle lane, it could be seized.
🛴 You can also be reported for driving offences, which could lead to significant penalty points (if you currently hold a driving licence) and a fine.
🛴 If you’re letting your child ride an e-scooter in public, you will be the one found responsible and in turn this could affect your own driving licence.
🛴 While many people may think these scooters are harmless fun, they can pose a real danger, with numerous injuries and even fatalities being reported.
❗ Please make sure you know the law before purchasing or riding an e-scooter.
