๐ดโ ๏ธ **PARENTS โ COULD YOUR CHILD'S E-SCOOTER COST YOU YOUR DRIVING LICENCE?**
Many parents don't realise that allowing their children to ride illegal e-scooters or non-compliant electric bikes could put **their own driving licence at risk!**
๐จ **Potential consequences include:**
๐ด 6โ8 penalty points
๐ด A substantial fine
๐ด Possible disqualification from driving
And you don't even have to be the person riding!
Under UK law, knowingly allowing someone to use an uninsured motor vehicle on a road or other public place can be an offence.
โ ๏ธ **Important:** Not all electric bikes are illegal, and simply buying an e-scooter for your child doesn't automatically make you guilty of an offence.
It's knowingly permitting unlawful, uninsured use that could have serious consequences.
๐ **Know the rules. Protect your licence.**
