Walking on the pavement up from Seven Sisters I was very close to being hit by a eScooter being ridden at speed on the pavement. This is really becoming a problem. I don't mind them in the road, but they shouldn't be ridden on the pavement

I wonder if anyone realises that e-scooters are illegal on roads and pavements etc, full stop. They cannot be legally ridden/ driven except on private property. The Met police clearly explain this on their website but their officers drive past as the e-scooter riders flout the law and endanger the public and themselves. This is no surprise however as the streets are no longer policed in any sense. Call 111 If your car is written off by a dangerous driver and the police say it is an insurance matter not a crime. Only if someone is hurt would the police come to any accident. The e-scooter riders are just as infuriating as the cyclists that cycle wrong way down one way roads and on the pavements. Not only does all this go unremarked on and unpunished but Transport for London even have adverts for e-scooters on their stations in which e-scooting is claimed to be a better way to commute even though that would be illegal. So if TfL is encouraging crime what hope is there?
When authorities don't listen or act what is there left but to rant? Perhaps the Council might put up more notices to be ignored.
This is of course quite funny until someone is killed for only then might the authorities actually have to do something.......
