I know this is strictly not cycling, but it might serve as a warning to anyone thinking of giving
one of these electric, or motorised scooters a try, or buying one for a child, or simply to advise
anyone involved in an accident with one.
A 16 year old boy has been prosecuted, and convicted, in Nottinghamshire, for drink driving whilst
riding an electric powered scooter, after pleading guilty in court. A police spokesman said that
these scooters can travel up to 20mph, and are covered by the same laws as any other powered vehicle
on the road, and must comply with the appropriate licensing, insurance, and regulations, in order to
be driven on roads, footpaths, or other public places.
The lad said that he was not aware of this, and neither were any of his friends that were
using them.
