Les Reid Follows Up On The Previous Post With Concerns Over The Public Rental Of These Dangerous Vehicles.

Hi Guys

 

The Electric Scooters (Trials) bill has been passed

 

I would at this stage ask all drivers to Lobby your MP contacts and urge representation (however it is a done deal, I believe).

 

Now many of the road closures we’ve seen so far are revealed as e-scooter friendly?

E-scooters can definitely manage to negotiate them.

 

As usual it appears to be mainly a London Problem...

However we all know that when London Sneeze’s the rest of us catch a cold.!

 

Also the Pedicab’s Bill is due its second reading in January 2021, I’ve attached some more details.

 

After a nightmare year, we would hope there would be light ahead, however it appears not now to be the case 

 

Les Reid.

TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT :

Official Statement from TfL 

https://www.intelligenttransport.com/transport-news/111621/tfl-announces-e-scooter-competition-for-operators-as-trial-set-for-2021/

So apparently there is to be competition for operators, but as we’ve already seen, Uber have purchased both the major rental companies....do not much competition here then.
