Frequent e-scooter riders are more likely to engage in risky and illegal riding behaviour, according to research which explored how riding experience influences hazard perception and response.

Imagine if your parents arrived at the scene of a car crash to find you dead. Shannan’s parents are devastated by the loss of their daughter.
Could you bear the thought of your family feeling that pain? Watch Shannan’s story> crashedlives.com/shannan

Paris became the first European city to ban the use of rental e-scooters under a law that came into force in September, and concerns have been raised in other towns and cities in the UK and elsewhere about riders breaking the rules; but research by Senior Lecturer Dr Petya Ventsislavova and colleagues at Nottingham Trent University has found that a lack of knowledge of the #Law – rather than a desire to flout it – is behind most rule breaking by riders.
