Man rode uninsured e-scooter near police station
A man has been fined after riding his e-scooter near a police station without realising he needed insurance for it.
Kevin Donegan, 26, admitted driving the vehicle without insurance on Queen Street in Aberdeen on August 26 last year, while it was still home to the police’s city headquarters.
Defence agent John Hardie said: “He wasn’t aware when he bought the e-scooter in question for £749 at Halfords that it was a motor vehicle and that it required him to have a licence and insurance.
“Even if he had a licence and insurance, he’s not allowed to use it.
“This is a situation arising from someone buying a product they didn’t understand.
“There’s really no way to legally use something like this and it’s rather frustrating they’re still for sale.”
Justice of the Peace Carole Ledingham gave Donegan, of Jasmine Terrace, Aberdeen, six penalty points and a £320 fine.
