France's transport minister has said electric scooter riders have brought "the law of the jungle" to the nation's streets.<br /><br />According to the Times newspaper of London, minister Elisabeth Borne was quoted as saying that the craze for e-scooters had developed "very rapidly and in a manner that is a bit anarchic."<br /><br />A total of 284 people have been injured and five killed in accidents involving scooters in the most recent figures available (2017), the paper said. <br /><br />The rental fleet of e-scooters in Paris alone is estimated at 25,000, the paper reported, and some can reach speeds of 37mph. <br /><br />In this video, one Paris citizen captured several instances of bad scooter safety on the streets, including a young child holding onto the frame of an e-scooter and three women balanced on the deck of another. <br /><br />In both videos, none of the scooter riders are wearing a helmet.<br /><br />The father in the first video can be seen driving with his young boy amongst cars and motor vehicles on the main road, while a passerby says "No!" with his hand and gestures with disapproval in the video, shot on April 19. <br /><br />On another occasion, filmed on September 18, 2018, three people were seen all riding at once on a dockless Lime scooter at night.
