<p>The law is already clear, private e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads, cycle lanes or pavements and rental e-scooters may only be used within trial areas run by the Department. A range of motoring offences and penalties also already apply for using an e-scooter illegally and/or irresponsibly. Users can face criminal prosecution, a fixed penalty notice, points on their driving licence, and the e-scooter can be impounded.</p><p>The Department intends to consult on proposals for e-scooter regulations in due course and is progressing research to fill wider evidence gaps.</p><p>There are already regulations in place which govern the use of e-bikes on the public highway. All road users have a duty to behave in a safe, responsible manner and to follow the rules in The Highway Code. Enforcement is a matter for the police.</p>
