Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion

Mr. John Fulham:

Yes. The legislation addresses the supply of e-scooters and their sale to those over 16 years but there is no provision in the legislation addressing their usage. That is something that is key to be addressed and it must be consistent in respect of both sale and usage. Let us be brutally honest. At 16 years we are looking for maturity in behaviour. These are not toys, they are mobility devices. Our concern would be to address that.
