Dear Thames Valley Police,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...
The government websites states:
"The definition of “motor vehicle” as set out in the Road Traffic Act 1988 is “any mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for use on roads”. There is case law confirming that powered transporters fall within this definition... Failures to comply with these rules are criminal offences for which users can be arrested and prosecuted."

The law defines electric scooters as "powered transporters".

I would like to request the number of offences reported and prosecuted of the use of "powered transporters" in the Thames Valley Area in the month of January 2021.

Yours faithfully,

Nathan Soper
