Lords: Give green light to Segways
[from today's London Metro]
SCOOTERS known as Segways should be allowed on the roads, peers said yesterday. The electric two-wheeler got the backing after peers tried them out. 'They can go on pavements, cycle routes and roads,' Labour's Lord Berkeley said. 'Why are we out of tune with the rest of Europe?' Segways are used by police and the public in parts of Europe along with the US. There have been concerns here about safety. But Lib Dem Lord Redesdale said: 'I drove one straight at Earl Attlee and failed to do him any damage at all.'
