DD is 16 and has started A levels at college a couple of miles away. The bus there takes ages since it goes round the houses first, and DD isn't keen on walking. She has decided to spend her savings on an e-scooter to get there and back. I have said no since to my mind it's dangerous, it's illegal, she might lose her provisional licence before she even gets it etc etc. Her reply is that she'll be safe because she'll ride it on the pavement. So I also have visions of her mowing down an OAP and doing time! So, I know I am maybe being a little over anxious, but would you let your 16 YO have an e scooter??
