AA Ireland said: 'These vehicles must be prevented from being altered to operate at higher speeds.' Photograph: Dara Mac DonaillIreland faces a potential “tsunami” of incidents involving e-scooters, AA Ireland has said, as it called for tighter regulation on their use.
It comes after footage was shared across social media platforms of an e-scooter user weaving in and out of traffic on Dublin’s M50. AA Ireland’s head of communications, Paddy Comyn, called upon legislators to ensure helmet use is compulsory and that all e-scooters will have some form of registration to the user, to allow for identification to ensure proper enforcement of rules. ]
“Incidents such as the one on the M50 over the past weekend show that more will need to be done to ensure that e-scooter users aren’t allowed to be a danger to themselves or other road users,” he said.
