Shoppers urged to steer clear of giving ‘dangerous and illegal’ e-scooters as presents this Christmas
Mr White said: “Whilst the intention behind e-scooters was to offer an alternative to public transport and ‘greener’ option than cars, the increased use of private e-scooters is causing a sharp increase in road traffic incidents and injuries to pedestrians. Not only does the lack of regulation around private e-scooters cause concern but the silent nature of the vehicles means pedestrians crossing roads are very vulnerable to accidents.
“If you choose to purchase an e-scooter as a gift this Christmas, you must ensure that it is only used on private land with the explicit permission from the owner. It is against the law to use it on public roads or paths, no matter if it’s a residential area or a major city. In Scotland, if you are caught using an e-scooter illegally, they are required to destroy the vehicle and you will not be compensated.
