EXCLUSIVE E-scooter riders may be forced to display licence plates, pass a test and have insurance amid crackdown to restore order on streets
E-scooter riders could be forced to display licence plates, pass a test and have insurance under a proposed crackdown aimed at restoring order to the streets. Other measures being drawn up by ministers include a minimum age for users and forcing manufacturers to limit their speed. The aim is to tackle a black market of the 'menace' scooters which has seen some modified into vehicles almost as large as small motorbikes or turbocharged to go at speeds of up to 70mph. The plans will be welcomed by police. Last year, the Mail revealed e-scooters were linked to more than 20,000 crimes over the previous three years, including drug trafficking, sex offences, thefts and even a 'drive-by' shooting. They will also be applauded by road safety campaigners and disability charities, who have long warned that vulnerable people such as the elderly and blind have been mown down by yobs riding them on pavements or obstructed by them being left abandoned in the streets. A Government source told the Mail: 'E-scooters can be a great way to get around but they must be properly regulated, safe for pedestrians as well as riders and we must ensure they cannot clutter up our streets.' Prominent road laws lawyer Nick Freeman, known as Mr Loophole, said the current law was effectively acting as an 'open invitation to commit any form of offence and avoid detection'. He added: 'The delay to bringing in proper legislation is effectively giving the green light for e-scooters to be used to commit all forms of criminal activity. They're stealth-like and there's no registration plates so the police have very little chance of apprehending anyone. They're a menace. 'E-scooters are subject to the Road Traffic Act 1988 but they don't need registration and that's the vital piece of the jigsaw that's missing. It makes current legislation impotent. Licensing them and registering them is the start so that they're treated like mopeds.' The crackdown would target privately-owned e-scooters rather than those available to rent, as these already require proof of a driving licence and age. Privately-owned e-scooters are banned on roads. But their use exploded during Covid and there are now thought to be as many as one million on the roads, meaning police effectively often turn a blind eye. However, ministers believe legalising them while introducing tough laws around registration and licensing would make it easier for forces to pursue thugs using them for crimes or riding dangerously. It is also hoped that introducing a basic test could improve safety, as young users currently jump on them without a driving licence or any knowledge of the roads. According to Government sources, ministers will consult on a minimum age of 14 for using the scooters as some children use them to get to school. Introducing mandatory 'rider training', akin to a driving licence for motorists, will also be considered as will insurance although sources stressed this is unlikely to be adopted because of the sky-high cost of premiums. By contrast, insurance for e-scooters in countries such as Germany is available for as little as £20 a year. Finally, ministers will look to force manufacturers into limiting their speed to 12.5mph. Margaret Winchcomb, of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, said: 'Bringing in long-promised legislation will mean the UK, now the last country in Europe lacking regulation, will be able to deal with the irresponsible sales of illegal vehicles to children and improve safety for all road users.'

Shocking moment Spanish cop slaps tourist 'who swore at him after complaining about police treatment of African beach sellers' in Marbella
Shocking footage captured the moment a Spanish cop slapped a tourist 'who swore at him after complaining about police treatment of African beach sellers' in Marbella. The incident took place at Faro Beach located at the popular holiday resort Playa del Faro on Saturday afternoon. The Marbella-based officer, who was seen in the clip wearing a helmet to protect his head, slapped the elderly man twice around the face despite the fact there seemed to be prior physical provocation. The unidentified holidaymaker appeared to yell 'hijo de puta', which translates in English to 'son of a b****', before being hit. Local reports have claimed the tourist had been voicing his discontent at the cop over his aggressive attitude towards the African beach sellers who gather on Marbella's seafront in the summer and sell counterfeit goods like sunglasses and bags in breach of municipal regulations. Police officers were reportedly seen pushing one of them before the holidaymaker assault as other chased fellow street sellers trying to run away with their belongings. Despite the clip appearing to identify the police officer as the aggressor, the elderly tourist is understood to have been arrested. Another tourist donning a pair of swimming trunks, filmed being surrounded by seven officers and pinned to the ground following a shouting match, attempted to intervene but also ended up being arrested. The unidentified holidaymaker appeared to yell 'hijo de puta', which translates in English to 'son of a b****', before being hit Sources claimed today, as the video footage now going viral was being looked at by local authorities to determine whether any officers should face disciplinary action, that one of the detainees threw a bottle at cops. He is reportedly denying the allegation. The beachfront drama occurred around a fortnight after another African street vendor was filmed punching a policeman in the face as he tried to stop him confiscating the counterfeit goods he was selling at a Marbella beach bar. The vendors, known locally as 'looky looky men', were seen pummelling one cop after taking him down. In a separate video, one vendor appeared to have broken part of the officer's helmet while punching him in the face. As one man repeatedly punched and kicked the police officer, the other took a moment to pick up his fallen wares. The two vendors then quickly escape, and the beaten officer was joined by a backup cop, all while tourists vacated the area. The astonishing scene unfolded in front of British tourists, with one forced to jump out of the way as the violence flared yelling: 'What the f***! That was mental.' Another was heard exclaiming: 'That was the most insane thing I've ever seen.' Police later claimed the 'looky looky' men they have to deal with on a regular basis are getting more and more aggressive and don't think twice about employing violence when cops try to stop them and seize their merchandise because they know the courts will let them off with little more than a fine if they can be tracked down and identified. Marbella Town Hall has not yet commented on the actions of the police officer seen slapping the tourist filmed insulting him at the weekend. They said the incident had happened during a routine police inspection against itinerant street trading. Police officers on quads are carrying out more regular inspections during the summer in Marbella.
