E-scooter riders could face a maximum jail sentence of two years if found guilty of injuring or killing pedestrians by wanton or furious driving.

In guidance issued by the Sentencing Council, the courts will apply a punishment ranging from a fine to up to two years in custody, when riders in the relevant category are found guilty.
