Nuisance Vehicle - E-scooter

Nuisance Vehicle - E-scooter

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Nuisance Vehicle use, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

⚠️ E-Scooter Seized ⚠️

Do you or your child own an e-scooter? 🛴

Make sure it is being used legally, or it could be seized.

Officers seized an e-scooter during the weekend after it was ridden illegally in a public place in Market Deeping 🚓

The Law: 📜
Privately owned e-scooters can only be legally ridden on private land with the landowner's permission. It is illegal to use them on public roads, pavements, or parks. ❌

Because they are classed as motor vehicles, using them in public requires a driving licence, tax, and insurance—which privately owned models cannot currently meet.

We are actively patrolling to stop, engage, and seize illegally ridden e-scooters.
