    Report summary

    Fatima Abukar, a 14-year-old girl, died from catastrophic head injuries after the privately owned e-scooter she was riding entered the carriageway and struck a mini-bus. The concerns included e-scooter fatalities and enforcement, the absence of a requirement for riders of legally authorised scooters to wear head protection, and inconsistent or insufficiently prominent warnings about illegal e-scooter use.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to EScooterClinic; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Reduced legal enforcement of unlawful e-scooter use

    Wider context from the report

    “1. Evidence in this inquest confirmed that since 2019 here have been 8 recorded fatalities involving e-scooters in London and 31 in the country at large. At the time of her death Ms Abukar was riding a privately owned e-scooter on a public highway. Despite the ubiquity of such devices on London’s streets, riding them on public roads is unlawful. Whereas approximately 4000 unlawfully used scooters were seized by the Metropolitan Police Service in 2021, only 1100 were confiscated in 2022. The reduction is attributable to a change in policy introduced in November 2021. An inverse correlation exists between the rate of legal enforcement and the rate of deaths caused by e-scooters. The number of deaths in Q1 & 2 of 2022 is more than double that of Q1 & 2 of 2021. ”

    Failure to provide prominent written warnings about the illegal use of e-scooters

    Wider context from the report

    “3. Some manufacturers and retailers of e-scooters in England and Wales provide consumers with written warnings about the illegal use of e-scooters, others do not. Where such warnings are present, often they are not prominent. ”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The government was identified as responsible for deciding whether to legalise scooters and introduce laws, regulations, compulsory protective gear and third-party insurance.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “The user of the vehicle was underage, recklessly driving, on the wrong side of the road, without protection. The fact that she was using a scooter is completely irrelevant, she could have been using a bicycle as well, or just running on her own legs. We would advise that the government takes the important decision of legalising the scooters, to introduce proper laws and regulations. Protective gear should be compulsory as well as third-party insurance. The government has been delaying the legislation at the same time allowing rented scooters on the street. That causes a lot of confusion. The UK commuters have spoken and have expressed interest in a new, eco-friendly, personal transport being properly introduced and legalised in the country. Sadly the incident is not at the fault of the vehicle but the user.”
