So a 12yo boy went head-on with a bus in Birmingham the other day, and came off worse.
In light of the death of their son, the parents have called for the scooters to be banned.

I'm not sure how much more banned they want. The kid was already banned. Private ones are banned, and a driving licence is required to hire one - as well as top-tier pocket money.

So what do you think about these bloody things..? * +

Its a big issue everywhere. Here we see ppl come up with the dumbest things on them. A whole family climbed on one. Ppl drive them in the winter on ice and break there bones. Too many accidents. They rent them out and they are everywhere to access. * +

Like with cyclists on the pavement. It's just not worth the paperwork * +

Did the parents blaming the scooter by any chance buy it for the kid in the first place? If not, how did a 12yr old kid get his hands on one and why wasn't he under adult supervision? I mean who lets their 12yr old kids do anything unsupervised these days, let alone ride an e-scooter on a public highway? * +

Some of them are tweaked to go 60kmph and pass cars. I would not want to stand on these tiny wheels and catch a pothole or sidewalk. * +

Maybe it was a rental? If you have that kind of service there. * +
