As mentioned, the experience in Paris was one of a liberal approach initially. Within six months, earlier this year, they had to introduce further legislation to ensure that the cluttering of footpaths was reversed. They introduced very severe penalties of up to €5,000 for the littering of footpaths with these vehicles. They had a scheme where the public were paid to take the scooters home to charge them and then return them. We can learn many lessons to help us get it right if we are going to legislate for them.
