They glide, they soar, but what is the law? Writing in NLJ this week, Lucy McCormick, Henderson Chambers, considers the rules surrounding the latest introduction to UK roads―e-scooters
Did you know that ‘strictly speaking, the default position is that e-scooters are not permitted on roads, cycle lanes or pavements’?
‘Indeed,’ McCormick writes, ‘riders face a £300 fined-penalty notice and six points on their driving licence (if they have one)’. The smooth speedsters are supposed to meet ‘a wide range of requirements that, by their design, are hard for them to comply with’.
But can any lawyer run fast enough to catch them and let them know?
