UK Police Warn: Don’t Ride Your E-Scooter on Public Roads!
Police are spotting a surge in e-scooter use, but confusion is rife over where you can legally ride them. Here’s the deal:
Private E-Scooters Are Illegal on Public Roads
It’s a no-go on streets, cycle lanes, and pavements if your e-scooter is privately owned. The law says you can only whip out your scooter on private land, such as your garden or driveway.
Breaking the Rules Costs You Dearly
If caught riding a private e-scooter outside a government trial scheme, expect a £300 fine. Plus, you could rack up six points on your driving licence.
So, think twice before scooting on public paths – police are watching, and the penalties bite!
