electric scooters on our footpaths.
discussion topic e scooters.
isn"t it time that all e scooters had a little bell - on them to let people know that they are just about to fly past at huge speeds - completely taking normal pedestrian path users by surprise, either this or ban them completely from using the foot paths.
over a dozen people were hurt in crashes involving e scooters in essex last year- recorded by department of transport.
Accross Britain - police forces recorded 700 casualties involving e scooters- accidents last year.
Three people have died and more than 700 been injured following accidents involving e scooters on one year.
it is currently illegal to ride an e scooter on public roads, so they end up riding on footpaths- bit like a motor bike riding on footpaths. that"s why we have footpaths - to separate motorised stuff- from pedestrians. mix these together then accidents are going to raise.
any thoughts- harlow people.
