IN the last few days, I have seen four Beryl scooters being ridden two-up.

One of these was going down a one-way road the wrong way, then two were riding down Richmond Park Road, one in a cycle lane going with the flow of traffic, the other on the other side of road in a cycle lane, riding into the oncoming traffic.

I have seen two kids riding them, definitely not old enough to hold a driving licence, so how did they hire them?

I have tried to report this to Beryl but you try calling them. Tonight I called them 40 times, no answer. I tried online chat, no reply.

The scooters should also have a unique number highly visible on them like the scooters being trialled in another part of the UK. Beryl put such small numbers on them you can’t really read them while they are being used.

Beryl should do also have an easy “report” page on their website where you could put the number of the scooter in, time, date, contact information, press a button and it’s reported. But there is no easy way to report any of this to Beryl.

It also states on the BCP site that these should not be ridden on pavements or in pedestrian areas. A blind eye is being turned to all this.

A bit like the non-Beryl scooters. Why have they not seized any of these locally like police forces have been doing in other areas? These carry the same penalty as no insurance. It would be a £300 fine and six points if I drove my car like this.

How can they justify prosecuting me when they are obviously turning a blind eye to everything?
