More than two thirds of traffic accidents involving e-scooters have been recorded in Dublin.
At least 1,373 incidents involving e-scooters have been recorded in the last 2 and a half years, according to new figures in the Irish Times.
They include 440 collisions, while Gardai have seized 269 e-scooters in the same period.
This year alone, there have been 453 incidents, compared to 640 in 2021 and 280 in 2020.
67% of those incidents were recorded in Dublin, with Limerick accounting for 5% while 4% occurred in Cork.
The figures come as the government continues to work on legislation to regulate the use of e-scooters.
