“ Illegal rider “ triggered a word association with “ Easy Rider “
The idea of Fonda and Hopper on E scooters made me smile.

The Daily Mail wouldn't know who to demonise: it may implode.

walking down to the shop yesterday and a young kid says to his dad in the garden " i want an electric scooter " as his mate has one .I know the parents to say hello and told them the legailty of them " one good reason not to buy one then " was the reply 
A few months ago, with (recovering) dislocated shoulder, I turned "good shoulder on" to a pavement CYCLIST and let him bounce off.... He was obviously a skilled cyclist as he did not end up prone in the road, but when he hit me, I was stationary.

It'd be a lot easier cycle one of those than it would be to carry it!

I expect that's why it has wheels.

I remember the Fast Show sketch where Ted ('drainage in the lower fields') jumps on his moped to the sound of 'get your motor runnin', head out on the highway....'

Technically, I would have thought that the painted cycle lane remains part of the highway so a law governing driving the wrong direction - which should exist? - would apply. Its like riding your bike against traffic flow. I watched Voi hire scooter riders the other day in Bristol riding the wrong way down a bus lane.
Tasers, that’s the answer, Tasers ! ( not really, but I do carry around a virtual Taser in my head and quite ofter use it to zap various antisocial ne’er do wells, people who insist on packing all their supermarket shopping into separate bags in a specific sequence before looking surprised that they have to pay for it and rummaging through their bag to find their purse… )

That’s after they’ve sifted through every pack of sliced meat in the fixture to find one that is “acceptable “, or felt all the loose produce instead of only touching what they want to buy… 😡
