This is what you have been writing to us about this week.

Riding privately owned e-scooters on public roads, pavements or cycle lanes in England is rightly illegal for reasons too obvious to state.

They are classified legally as ‘personal light electric vehicles’.

Why then does Bucks Council think offering such a vehicle for public rental is a good idea?

I would love to know the answer (without the usual ‘red herring’ replies that it’s ‘environmentally friendly’ or a ‘way to ease the burden on public transport’.

Who among our councillors backed the barmy and dangerous scheme to allow e-scooters across our district?

It is legal to buy and sell these scooters but riding them on public roads, pavements and cycle lanes is against the law in some areas of the UK and can carry a £300 fine and six penalty points.

They’re confiscated in London now.

They weave through road traffic and endanger pedestrians on paths. They can reach almost 30mph.

Umpteen accidents have been reported nationally and some were fatal.
Inconsiderate riders are becoming a menace on roads and pavements, ignoring the law.

The National Federation of the Blind is alarmed as the scooters are left across pavements.

There was a report on the BBC last week that in Bucks a man was fined and given penalty points after ignoring police officers who told him he could not ride his e-scooter in Marlow.
