The last point, which is particularly relevant to e-scooters—if you went to our friendly local A&E department at St Thomas’, they would tell you this—is that one of the biggest problems is lack of alcohol enforcement. I have ridden a bicycle when I have had possibly half a glass more than I should have of Pinot noir; I have never ridden an e-scooter when I have had anything to drink because it would be a dangerous experience. But that is one of the secrets that companies that are avoiding scooter accidents are using.
