Which statement about electric scooters is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Only rental scooters in official trial areas may be ridden on public roads, and riders need a driving licence
- Step 1: E-scooters are treated as powered vehicles and need to meet the rules for them. Step 2. Rental scooters in approved trials are the only ones allowed on public roads, and the rider needs a provisional or full driving licence. Answer: Only rental scooters in official trial areas may be ridden on public roads, and riders need a driving licence. Why not the others: A helmet does not legalise a private scooter, private scooters are not allowed in cycle lanes, and pavements are not permitted.
