Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Urban Area Speed Limits and Road Safety Strategy: Discussion

Mr. Sam Waide:

From an RSA perspective, we have been clear on this issue. We have been clear with Ministers that we want e-scooters to be regulated. We want them to be regulated in terms of being introduced safely. What we have discussed with the committee is about reducing serious injuries and fatalities. As a system and a country, we cannot bring on board and regulate a new form of mobility when we are taking one step forward in reducing serious injuries, fatalities and potential collisions, but taking two steps back in terms of not taking on board RSA's recommendations in regard to e-scooters.
