State body in charge of national road network calls for mandatory registration and insurance of e-scooters

Transport Infrastructure Ireland claim registration and insurance for e-scooters would act as a deterrent for users who failed to obey traffic rules

E-scooters should be registered and insured before they are allowed in use on public roads, according to the State body with responsibility for the national road network.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland has recommended to the Government that such measures should be included in a new bill designed to legalise the use of e-scooters in order to identify any users who breach road traffic laws.
