A Derry councillor has urged e-scooter owners to be "mindful" of others after a series of "close calls" in the city.
Sinn Fein's Emma McGinley said that drivers and pedestrians in the Creggan area had raised concerns over "close calls" with scooters being driven dangerously.
The Moor councillor said the issue caused one driver to break hard to avoid a "serious incident".
“I have been contacted by a number of people who have raised concerns about several incidents in Creggan over the past few weeks involving electric scooters," Cllr McGinley said.
"There have been reports of these scooters being driven dangerously along footpaths causing people walking having to step out onto busy roads to avoid being hit."
She added: “In another incident, a female driver was left badly shaken after someone driving one of these scooters came out of a side street and went right across the front of her car resulting in her having to break hard to again avoid a serious incident.
“The people using these scooters need to be acting responsibly and ensure they are driving safely to ensure no one is injured, or worse.”
