In England&Wales there have been 11 rider deaths since 2019. More alarmingly, the death rate shot up this summer with 7 deaths between 8June and 5August ie one rider death every 8 days. All were riding their private e-scooters in public, and hence breaking the law. Average age 37; almost half in their 50s, so not all reckless youths. Almost half involved no other vehicle. Most simply lost control and fell, hit solid objects (eg a fence, a parked car), or into the path of a moving vehicle. In only 2 cases was the driver of another vehicle arrested, one for drunk driving.
