>>On the other hand they have got themselves into a right pickle with e-scooters. They are effectively illegal in public places unless part of a trial, and in the authorised trial areas they must not be ridden on pavements or by children (anyone too young to ave at least a provisional licence)
Not really their fault, nobody saw them coming.
Where's the difficulty in treating them like mopeds? Got to have an MOT, Insurance, Provisional licence, licence plate and of limited power/speed and subject to road regulations etc.
>> The roads aren't fit for them
The roads are perfectly fit for them.
>> many I've seen have had what looks like a child on them (or two).
The police should be able to control misuse as they do(?) on roads generally.
