Subscribe to PNLDIn July 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) made regulations allowing trials of rental e-scooters. There are currently 18 live trials across England and they are due to end on 31 May 2028. The trials will ultimately guide the final decision as to whether the use of e-scooters will be lawful on our roads and if so, what legislation is needed to bring the change about. This article, written by PNLD’s traffic law consultant, Christopher Smith, provides an overview of the rules, legislation changes and offences that apply to e-scooters.
The Removal, Storage and Disposal of Motor Vehicles Timeframes (Amendment) Regulations 2026, in force from 22 July 2026 makes amendments to legislation meaning that under the relevant legislative scheme, vehicles can be disposed of either seven calendar days after the police seizure, the issuing of a seizure notice or, after an individual notified the force they intend to collect but the vehicle was not subsequently collected.
