The Department for Transport has shared new figures that show 12 people died in e-scooter crashes in Britain last year.
'As ministers ponder the future of these devices, it is important councils are better funded to keep highway surfaces up to scratch so all road users - not least those on two wheels - don't fall foul of the rash of potholes which remain far too common.'Private e-scooters aren't allowed to be ridden on UK roads or pavements but they've become a common sight, particularly in towns and busy areas.
If you're caught riding a privately owned e-scooter you could be fined, get points on your driving licence, and the e-scooter could be impounded. There are however trials of rental e-scooters ongoing in a number of towns and cities across England. Recently a number of rail operators, including South Western Railway and Southeastern, have banned e-scooters on their services. This is because they pose a fire risk due to the possibility of their batteries overheating.
