Petition Require e-scooter sellers/makers to make clear they are illegal for public use
Require that manufacturers of electric scooters clearly state on packaging that the use of electric scooters on UK public roads and pavement is illegal.
More details
Require that sellers of e-scooters make consumers aware of the e-scooter law on all sales material.
In recent years the number of e-scooter related accidents has been on the rise. Yet e-scooter riders are not being informed at purchase that the use of e-scooters in public is illegal.
At aged 18, I witnessed a horrific accident between a car and an e-scooter rider, who was left seriously injured.
Educating potential e-scooter buyers is such a little step that could save lives and prevent accidents in the future.
