The Humberside Roads Policing Team have been out across the force area as part of ‘Operation Drive Insured’, targeting vehicles without valid insurance.
The campaign also supports the e-scooter safety campaign, ‘Is It Wheely Worth It?’ Four e-scooters were seized during Monday for having no insurance.
It is illegal to ride a privately owned e-scooter on public roads or land. They can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission.
Humberside Police said:
“If you’re caught riding one illegally, you risk having it seized and destroyed. A costly purchase, a potential criminal offence and a journey that simply isn’t worth the risk.”
