Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the impact of e-scooters on (a) driving licence and (b) insurance requirements.
This question was answered on 3rd February 2023
The Department for Transport is currently considering options for future regulations for rental and private e-scooters. It will consult before any new arrangements come into force, and all interested parties will have a chance to shape the new regime.
Currently, third-party insurance is provided to users by e-scooter operators in the national trials, and users must also have a provisional driving licence.
