In a move that simply beggars belief the N.S.W. Parliamentary Inquiry into
e-scooters and e-bikes has recommended allowing e-scooters to be ridden
on shared paths and roads across N.S.W if they are ridden by a person
older than 16. They will remain outlawed on pedestrian only footpaths. This
hair-raising proposal would allow a speed limit of 10 to 20km/hour on
shared paths and a 20 km/hour limit on roads where the speed limit is 50
km/hour or below. N.S.W Roads Minister Jenny Atchison said that by
regulating their use it would be easier to crack down on their behaviour. Is
she for real – allowing e-scooters onto the road at 20km/hour in all weather
conditions is a recipe for disaster – with no license or identification its
unmanageable and surely unfair to Police who have enough to worry about
without having to worry about e-scooters. I’m David Berthon
