GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION TO HELP ENCOURAGE USAGE

ONE pedestrian was killed and 59 were seriously injured in e-scooter crashes in Britain last year, figures show, causing a charity for blind people to brand them "fast, silent and unpredictable".
A further 158 suffered minor injuries in collisions with the vehicles, according to the Department for Transport (DfT) statistics.
Pedestrians were the road user type most at risk of being injured in e-scooter crashes last year, excluding the vehicles' users. They were followed by cyclists (47 injured), car occupants (12 injured) and motorcyclists (seven injured).
The UK has been described as an "outlier" among developed nations in banning private e-scooters from public areas, although they are often illegally used in many urban areas.
