West Lothian crime: Man, 43, caught riding an electric scooter with his 10-year-old son as passenger in Livingston

Police in Livingston have reported a 43-year-old man for endangering a child while riding an electric scooter.

Officers from Livingston Road Police caught the man riding an electric scooter on Howden South Road, with his 10-year-old son as a passenger.

Police have reported him for dangerous transportation of a child causing them to be exposed to unnecessary risk and harm.

The man had no licence and no insurance for the vehicle, so was also reported for this.

In Scotland, it is illegal to ride a privately owned electric scooter in any public place - including roads, pavements, parks, and town centres. The only place they can be used is on private land with the agreement of the land owner.
