These 5 facts about riding an electric scooter might surprise you
(information from NYP Social Media)
We're seeing more of these on North Yorkshire's roads.
There are rules for e-scooters to protect riders, pedestrians and other road users.
But some riders don't know about them. So we hope these five facts will help everyone stay safe and legal
FACT 1 
They are actually classed as motor vehicles. That means you need a driving licence and insurance to use one on a road or public place.
Personal users are unlikely to be able to get adequate insurance, so are only allowed to use their e-scooter on private land.
FACT 2 
If you ride one when you’re drunk or on drugs, you could be arrested and would face a driving ban and a large fine, just like car drivers.
FACT 3 
York is the only place in our county which has a trial scheme to help you ride legally. You still need at least a provisional driving licence, must be over the age of 18 and register with the company responsible for the trial who will check you're eligible.
FACT 4 
The rules apply to everyone, even if they're under the age of 18, although we're likely to offer advice to young people and their parents.
FACT 5 
We'd much rather people stick to the rules, rather than police forces having to enforce them. But if they don’t, their e-scooter can be seized. They'd get it back on producing a valid insurance policy.
We urge residents to be on lookout and report suspicious activity or vehicles at the time any suspect activity occurs using the national 101 non-emergency number.
Always dial 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress.
