E-Bikes & E-Scooters

Post by POSTMAN »

Safety Technician at Royal Mail Group

Whilst out at a unit today, I noticed that an E-Scooter had been brought into the sorting area. Please ensure the following SHE Flash has been briefed to staff and these are stored outside.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

More importantly, you can't ride them on the road and you can't ride them on the path (unless City Centre hire). The only place you can ride them is on private land.

Which makes them utterly pointless. :cuppa

That isn’t entirely true. You can ride an electric bike (EAPC) anywhere, including on bike paths.

We all know that this is nothing to do with safety, it's purely down to cost.

Apologies LouBarlow, because the photo was an e-scooter that's what I was commenting on.

Also, a driving licence and car insurance are also required for the e-scooters, so tell me how these 14yo skool-kids have these documents ?

Yeah, the cost of putting out a fire in a DO.

No, I think it's down to 🦺. I've seen one go off.
The scooters (though no scooting goes on) are banned on trains n planes, yet the bikes seem to still be allowed for some reason.
