Majority of Brits call for permanent ban on e-scooters.

Two-thirds of Brits want e-scooters banned from public roads, while three-quarters think a driving licence and insurance should be a requirement to use one, a survey by the National Accident Helpline found. The number of deaths from e-scooter accidents has tripled in the last year alone. Cancer survivor Luke Barratt, who nearly lost his foot in an e-scooter accident, is one of millions in the UK calling for them to be taken off the streets. Currently, the law says e-scooters can only be used on private land, unless they are rented as part of a government-backed trial.
