Oh no I didn't.He also said the car ran over the e-scooter rider.
Panto season seems to start earlier and earlier.

There's times when I wonder if "panto season" ever ends.Oh no I didn't.

That doesn't make it right to run them over!
It doesn't and @mjr didn't say that it did. He responded to your statement with a sweeping generalisation which I think many people would agree with.Please say where in the linked article it says that the e-scooter rider was run over. Put up or shut up.
Makes your previous post asking if I'd actually read the piece pointless now. The proof was given in response to his post. Four lanes of traffic shut following the incident. We still don't know who hit who first, or even if it was something as unavoidable as not being able to avoid the other vehicle involved. Which is why I said I'll reserve judgement until that is known.It doesn't and @mjr didn't say that it did.

Of course there are questions. We all know that e-scooters are illegal to use on the road, but the vast majority of people who use one ignore that "law" because it was drafted way before e-scooters were invented. The Government are dragging their feet on updating legislation as usual.
Similarly one questions the sanity of the rider in taking an e-scooter down what appears to be a dual carriageway with a 70mph speed limit. Regardless of those questions, I think we would all agree with @mjr's statement.
We have ~these~ things cluttering up the pavements here in Hamtun. Bl**dy nuisance, and they're legal, too.
Even though they're legal, they are ridden '2 up', on pavements and by kids not old enough to have a driving licence.
Not sure of any injury stats, though.
