In the run up to Christmas 2022 Emily Formby and Caroline Hall spoke with Paul Yaghmourian, Public Affairs Officer at the MIB, about the MIB’s role dealing with claims arising out of accidents involving illegal e scooters and discussed where next for e scooter legislation. Whilst there has been a little bit of a delay in publishing this episode, due to rumoured legislation being kicked into the long grass and the government being quiet about their next steps, there is nothing new to add to what was discussed back in December! So sit back, cast your mind back to mid December and hear what Paul hoped Father Christmas would bring as a Christmas present!

After a short hiatus, Emily Formby and Caroline Hall are delighted to welcome Margaret Winchcomb, Deputy Executive Director of PACTS, the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety.  Recorded on International Women’s Day they talk about Margaret’s leading research and policy work field of private e-scooters and her recommendations for future legislation.

She ends by inviting us all to join the PACTS Mircomobility safety and sustainability Conference, to be held Tuesday 28 March 2023: here.

UPDATE: In this episode we discuss the imminent sentencing of the 14 year old e-scooter rider arising from the death of Linda Davis.  Link to BBC report here.

In this episode Caroline Hall and Emily Formby have a short discussion about recent cases including Drago v LB Barnet an ongoing private e-scooter claim currently before the Courts.  A short episode to pop into your Christmas Stockings, as Emily and Caroline set out what we currently know, and what might come next…
