Weekly Tech Article 10/16

UK Bans Handleless Segways for Public Use


  • Crown Prosecution Service banned all "personal transport," including 'hoverboards' and segways from the footpath on Mondau. 
  • technically not "street legal" in UK
  • not legal to ride on the sidewalk either, as it is technically a motor vehicle
  • only allowed to ride on private property
  • most rules come from Britain's Highway Act of 1835
    • says people cannot "lead or drive any horse, ass, sheep, mule, swine, or cattle or carriage of any description"
