One of the latest phenomena hitting the streets is the surge in popularity of electric scooters, or e-scooters for short. These nimble, electric-powered vehicles have become a preferred choice for many commuters.
However, their sudden appearance on roads poses potential dangers for both riders and drivers alike, with concerns on the rise for rider visibility, lack of road/driving knowledge & their continued misuse across the UK.
Can you ride an Electric Scooter on the road?
In some parts of the UK, riding an electric scooter on the road is legal, but only under strict conditions - under trial rules. In the rest of the UK they remain illegal, such as London & West Yorkshire, as those areas do not adopt E-scooter trials.
You can find the most current, up-to-date E-scooter trials list here.
Riding an electric scooter dangerously, or on the pavement is a serious offence and falls under the category of dangerous driving, which is part of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Are E-scooters an increasing concern?
In the fast-paced world of today, road safety has become an increasing concern, especially with the rising popularity of unconventional modes of transportation, such as e-scooters.
As these new additions hit the streets, it becomes crucial for drivers to have a reliable tool that not only captures their journeys but also acts as a safeguard against unforeseen incidents - such as dangerous driving on e-scooters (which has become a trending recurrence due to dash cam footage circulating around the web).
