A staggering 2,200 percent increase in IN10 endorsements, which pertain to such offenses, has been reported among kids aged 13-16, rising from 17 in 2021 to 375 in 2024. IAM RoadSmart, a road safety charity, is advocating for new legislation aimed at regulating e-scooter use, which is currently illegal on public roads and pavements, yet widely available. This rise indicates a growing risk for road safety, particularly among youth.
