A very risky move.
Footage of a man using an e-scooter on the M50 has been shared widely on social media over the weekend.
In the clip, the person can be seen veering across lanes on the motorway before moving into the hard shoulder.
Speaking to the Sligo Champion, TD Martin Kenny said that this sort of behaviour is "reckless".
“That’s a dangerous enough manoeuvre in a car, never mind a scooter that offers no warning to others, or protection to the rider.
“In fact, the rider is oblivious to traffic around them. This behaviour is reckless.
“Only this week we heard from the RSA that serious injuries from road collisions have increased by 180% in the last decade. The behaviour of this rider had the potential to cause a serious accident for the drivers around them.
Paddy Comyn from the AA also weighed in on the subject, insisting that behaving like that also causes other people on the roads to be distracted, which can cause further issues.
