Section 165A of the Road traffic act 1988 concerns the ability of the police to seize and remove motor vehicles being driven/ridden on public roads without insurance or without a valid driving licence for that type of vehicle. Hoverboards cannot be insured for public use. Additionally, some hoverboard users are children, who cannot acquire a driving license.
