The slow-ride zones and no-ride zones are built into the app. Today, in the city of Bristol the e-scooter scheme was extended again until November. It impressed me that the operation of the scheme was suspended from a safety point of view between Christmas and New Year. What have the learnings been from Bristol? There were 90 accidents over a four-week period. We can learn from the experience in the UK in terms of safety and rider behaviour. Could Mr. Pencharz give us an insight into what he has learned from Bristol as an example of a pilot?
