Stop the illegal use of E-Scooters on public roads
Stop the use of privately owned E-Scooters on the roads and pavements. This will involve heavily enforcing the law already in place to stop the illegal use on public roads and pavements.
E-Scooters are unsafe for the user, they do not follow the highway code, users are not insured, they cause accidents and are a high hazard to the community. In addition, they cause distress to domestic animals such as cats and dogs. According to Gov.uk, there were 1,359 casualties (2021) in collisions involving e-scooters, compared to 484 in 2020.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about local law enforcement, including what measures to take to tackle traffic offences, are a matter for individual polices forces, not the UK Government or Parliament.
