A teenager has been charged with drink driving in connection with a crash involving an e-scooter in the city.
Ryo Welch, 18, of Patrick Road, Long Stratton, has been charged with driving offences following the incident which happened at 3pm on Sunday, August 14, in Trafford Road, Norwich, involving an e-scooter and a grey Ford.
Welch, who was driving the e-scooter, was arrested at the scene.
He is due to appear at Norwich Magistrates Court on Tuesday, September 13, 2022.
E-Scooters, due to their design and features, are categorised as a motor vehicle by the Department of Transport.
There is no new piece of legislation to cover E- which means Section 185 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 still applies and defines a motor vehicle as "any mechanically propelled vehicle intended or adapted for use on roads".
