Did you know you require a valid driving licence and insurance to use an E-Scooter on the road? Police stopped a client using his E-scooter on the road. He was breathalysed and found to be over the legal limit. He appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court, where the magistrates banned him from driving for 1 year, reduced to 9 months if he completed the Drink Drive rehabilitation course successfully. He was also fined. An E-scooter is a motor vehicle because it has an electric motor with 2 wheels aligned along the direction of travel controlled by the handlebars. You must also wear a protective helmet as it is defined as a motor bicycle for the purposes of the Motorcycles (Protective Helmets) Regulations 1998.

Stephen handled my drink drive case in December. This was my first offence and I was very glad to have someone of Stephen's experience and skill handling my case. He was always contactable and walked me through the whole process. I was very pleased with the outcome, thanks in no small part to Stephen's input and handling of the case. I would certainly recommend Stephen.

Many thanks
