Ban all electric scooters on public roads

Closed 232 signatures

What the petition asks

We ask the Government to ban e-scooters on public roads due to the increasing number of accidents, injuries and fatalities. They pose serious risks to riders, pedestrians and other road users. Stronger regulation and enforcement is urgently needed to protect public safety.
E-scooters have caused a sharp rise in accidents, serious injuries and even deaths on roads. They are often used without helmets or proper training, and create real danger for pedestrians and vulnerable road users. My own 24-year-old son tragically lost his life in an e-scooter incident. To prevent more families suffering such losses, urgent action is needed.
