A reaction test to weed out drunk or drug-affected e-scooter riders will be rolled out this summer in an effort to avoid a repeat of the "anti-social" riding behaviour recorded during Summernats early this year.
E-scooter usage in the ACT typically spikes by between 20-30 per cent during the summer months and this is also when the two Singaporean companies offering "shared mobility platforms" in the ACT, Neuron and Beam, experience the greatest amount of rider abuse and potential e-scooter misuse.
