🚨 Thinking of riding an e-scooter in Leicestershire? Know the law before you roll! 🛴
🔹 Privately owned e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads, pavements, parks, or shopping centres. They can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission.
🔹 Rental e-scooters are allowed in trial areas - but only if:
✅ You have a valid driving licence
✅ You follow road traffic laws
✅ You wear safety gear (helmet recommended!)
❗ Break the rules and you could face:
- £300 fine + 6 points for no insurance
- £100 fine + points for no licence
- £50 fine for riding on pavements
- £200 fine for using a phone while riding
Let’s keep our roads and communities safe. Ride smart. Ride legal. 💙
