With six fatalities from e-scooter crashes last year and hundreds more injuries, urgent legislative change is being called for regarding private e-scooter use on public roads.
Families of victims are joining police chiefs and MPs in urging the government to update the legislation governing privately owned e-scooters, emphasizing the critical need for regulatory action.
Despite the risks, over one million privately owned e-scooters are reported in the UK, leading to calls for stronger laws to ensure safer usage on public roads.
The current legal status of privately owned e-scooters as motorised vehicles prohibits their use on roads or pavements, highlighting the disconnect between ownership and regulation.
