On roads yes, limited to over 16s with lights etc.
Mitchell Ward
The slower 12-15mph ones (which lose at least 5mph on the smallest hills) are no more dangerous than existing bicycles/ebikes. Will inevitably be legalised and put into this category too.
Jaimes Lewis Moran
Fast becoming a menace in busy traffic, faster moving than a bike but same behaviours by many riders.
Mickster Ell
Definitely no more dangerous than bycycles.

DRIVING
Plans to scrap the separate driving test required for drivers to tow trailers could lead to more accidents, according to a leading road safety charity.
We did alright in the past before this money spinner test was introduced. I had to learn the art of towing ‘on the job’ as it were. I received a lot of help and advice from others on the campsites. But then I was actually taught to drive, not just pass a test.
Brian Clamp
Rubbish. You can tow on a normal licence so long as the combined max weight of both vehicles are less than 3.5 tonnes. That means that plenty of people could be towing that any way. Plus since I’ve never been stopped with our legal caravan, how many are towing illegally anyway?
CRIME
Sam Green
Pet theft is to be made a criminal offence under new government plans to crackdown on dognappers.
Should have done it a long time ago.
Marj Miller
Selling pets on the internet should be a crime and be banned! Go to a animal shelter to rehome a pet.
Barbara Ward
About time!
John Chapman Smith
Next hopefully cats.
