Calls for strict E-Scooter legislation following M50 viral video

The person on the scooter can be seen veering across lanes on the motorway before moving into the hard shoulder.

There are calls for stricter enforcement of e-scooter users.

It's after footage emerged of someone on an electric scooter on the M50 in Dublin.

This footage, which has been shared on social media, shows the rider has a high vis vest on but no helmet.

They veer across lanes on the M50 - into the hard shoulder - and then take the exit for Ballymun.

Vehicles that can't maintain a speed of at least 50km an hour aren't allowed on the m50 and e-scooters are only meant to go at max - 25 kilometres.

The incident has prompted calls for greater enforcement against the improper use of e-scooters.
