POLICE in Haverfordwest, Fishguard and St Davids are reminding residents that privately owned e-scooters cannot legally be used on roads, pavements or other public spaces.

E-scooters are treated as motor vehicles under road traffic law. This means riders would need to meet the same legal requirements as other motorists, including having a valid licence, insurance and tax.

However, because privately owned e-scooters cannot currently be insured for use on public roads, they cannot legally be ridden in public places. They may only be used on private land, with the permission of the landowner.

Anyone caught riding an e-scooter illegally could face a fixed penalty notice, including a £300 fine and six penalty points for riding without insurance. Riders may also face a fine of up to £100 and three to six penalty points for riding without the correct licence.

Police say riders may also be committing further offences if they are caught riding on pavements, using a mobile phone while riding, going through red lights, or riding while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The penalties for drink or drug riding are treated in the same way as if a person was driving a car, and could include a court-imposed fine, a driving ban or imprisonment.

Officers are urging parents and young people to understand the rules before buying or using an e-scooter.
