A person was caught riding an e-scooter along the M60 on Wednesday evening. Police received numerous reports of the person riding the tiny two-wheeled scooter, installed with a seat, riding along the motorway near the Princess Parkway junction in south Manchester.
The North West Motorway Police team acted, and prosecuted the person before seizing the scooter. Following the action, they posted a picture of the scooter at the side of the carriageway.
Currently, under UK law, the electric scooters are classed as 'powered transporters' along with the likes of hoverboards and electric unicycles, and can only be ridden in areas where trials are taking place, such as Salford and Rochdale.

Government legislation defines them as 'motorised vehicles' - with strict limitations on where they can be used. This means they would need to comply with the requirements motor vehicles must meet in order to be allowed to drive on roads, including insurance and road tax.
In Greater Manchester, electric scooters can be temporarily rented in Salford and Rochdale. Transport for Greater Manchester are currently working with councils in the two boroughs and e-scooter operator Lime as part of a wider Department for Transport trial to see how e-scooter rental schemes can be successfully operated in the UK.
Sharing the news about the scooter being ridden on the M60, North West Motorway Police tweeted: "Numerous calls received earlier regarding an Electric scooter on the M60 ACW between Jct 5 and 6. Currently classed as motor vehicle under the current law. Rider prosecuted and e-scooter seized."

His intention was to kill Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Instead, he drove to Hope, B.C., with thoughts of committing a mass shooting at Simon Fraser University — where he was enrolled — or on the Lions Gate Bridge. Ultimately he decided to turn himself in at the Vancouver Police Department building in East Vancouver.
