Petition Legalise use of personal e-scooters with licence, insurance and safety clothing

To change the law to be able to use a privately owned E-Scooter for personal use. To make it road legal, E-Scooter riders should be insured and licenced by the DVLA, with a licence plate on the back of the scooter. All riders must were helmets and high visibility jackets.

More details

E-scooter use can help to reduce the UK's carbon footprint, which is good for everyone. New requirements for E-scooter riders should increase safety and make riders more accountable.

Enabling the use of private E-scooters should also help people with limited resources to get to and from work and still enable them to do so when there are strikes on public transport. E-Scooters can also be a good option for people who live in flats, where there may not be much space to store a bike.
