About time all scooters were seriously reviewed and further appropriate precautions/bans introduced.

that isn't going to happen. the government are looking at legalising e-scooters as an alternative to subsidising urban bus services, which can then be defunded when the public has the opportunity (if not the means) to get themselves into town, and back.

make no mistake, they will become legal.

They may well do mushroom, doent mean it is correct.  The Government will only be looking at ways of not spending money not whether it is a good idea or not.
