are the bane of my life. My other half got knocked over by one in a side street. It zoomed past and they didn’t even say anything.
“Sometimes you get verbal abuse from people using them, what are we doing about them? I see some people on e-scooters with children as young as six or seven sat on them, doing 15 to 20mph. What are we going to do before something serious happens?” Insp Tinsley said the force acknowledged e scooter use was rising and he felt their growth in popularity would only continue, but he said police did have the power to deal with people who used them irresponsibly.
The officer said: “There’s a number of Government-sponsored and funded schemes in place to trial them at the moment, including one in Scunthorpe. If you rent and ride an e scooter in those places then you should do it responsibly and courteously. E-scooters will be here to stay as a form of green transport.
“But we’re between a rock and hard place because e scooters are typically used by younger people. So it would seem harsh for us to come and take little Johnny’s e scooter off him because he was riding down a footpath. We acknowledge there’s issues with them but at present I wouldn’t define it as a widespread problem.”
