E-SCOOTER OPERATION

🚨 E-scooter crackdown in Thames Valley 🚨

#SouthNHPT have listened to community concerns about the illegal use of e-scooters and today ran an operation where 28 e-scooters were seized. This action comes after reports of dangerous and unlawful riding across our communities, with the support of @TVPRoadsPolicing Off-Road Motorcyclists with the dual purpose motorcycles.

👉 Know the law on e-scooters:

•    ❌ Private e-scooters cannot be ridden on public roads, pavements, cycle paths, or parks. They are only legal on private land with permission.
•    ✅ Rental e-scooters (in approved trial areas) can be used on roads and cycle lanes – not pavements. Riders must have a valid licence, and insurance is provided by the operator.
•    🚓 Police can issue fines, penalty points, and even seize e-scooters if they are used illegally.

Let’s keep our roads and communities safe. ✅
