Rejected petition: Ban the public sale of e scooters
Rejected on
Ban the sale of e scooters in shops. It is illegal to use them except on private land with permission so they should not be available for general sale to public
E scooters are causing serious accidents and injuries whilst being ridden in public places they are not legally allowed. Compensation for those injured is causing motorists insurance to rise to cover this cost whilst those offending are not being prosecuted sufficiently
