I don’t always agree with Harold Scruby from the Pedestrian Council of
Australia, but I did agree with his article in the Telegraph on Tuesday titled
States e-madness must end before we’re e-limited. Rightly taking the
N.S.W. Government to task for proposing new rules and regulations for e-
scooters that other states have already found unworkable – allowing
anyone 16 and over to ride e-scooters on 50km/hour roads as well as
shared paths is a recipe for disaster – with no training, no license, no
registration and no insurance. Harold Scruby does himself an injustice
claiming the road toll in N.S.W is up 18 percent, its up 18 in number or 14
per cent while his argument that pedestrians don’t need education is one
eyed – he should witness the number of pedestrians in the City in
particular who walk onto pedestrian crossings texting or on the phone.
