E-Scooters: The noise being generated by this silent transport

With expansion of local authority trial schemes, private ownership apparently on the rise (and with Christmas around the corner…) the first claims from e-scooter use have started to appear.

By the end of this session, delegates will be able to understand:

• the available data and statistics on scooter use
• the insurance issues it might generate and
• what may lie on the road ahead.
