Gavin explains that e-scooters are defined as \u2018<em>motor vehicles<\/em>\u2019 under the Road Traffic Act 1988 and that the legal position of their use depends on whether they are privately owned or part of an approved government trial running in certain areas.<\/p><p>Gavin\u2019s full article can be read in <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/potion\/docs\/2ywz_mag_p1-116_online\/36\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue No. 69 of Your Expert Witness<\/a>.<\/p><p>Gavin is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Member of the Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators.
