This is such a folly, in this day and age I feel we should be actively encouraging commuters to travel by sustainable means. I note that there is no suggestion that the gentleman in question was engaged in reckless or antisocial behaviour, just a commuter traveling to or from work..

@Neil Warner-Baker, a COMMUTER travelling to or from work! He had a vehicle on the road, NO INSURANCE, carrying a knuckle duster! I wonder what kind of job he has?

Forgive my ignorance what is the insurance policy on electric scooters I thought you can use them on cycle tracks not main roads?

Well if he was in possession of a knuckle duster he's probably some sort of cleaner
