Authorities in Dubai are considering a new law that could hold parents legally responsible if their children misuse electric scooters, as part of efforts to improve road safety.

The proposal, currently being developed by Dubai Police in collaboration with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), aims to address growing concerns over unsafe riding and rising accidents involving minors.

Officials say electric scooters are no longer just recreational devices, with some being modified to reach dangerous speeds. Under the proposed law, parents could be held accountable if their children ride in restricted areas, break safety rules, or endanger themselves and others.

Authorities are also planning to introduce mandatory registration and number plates for all electric scooters. The move is expected to improve tracking, prevent misuse, and strengthen enforcement.

The proposal follows a rise in e-scooter-related incidents across the city. Recent figures show hundreds of accidents involving scooters and bicycles, including multiple fatalities and serious injuries, many of them involving children and teenagers.

Dubai Police have already stepped up enforcement, confiscating scooters and taking action against riders performing dangerous stunts in public areas.

Officials say the new measures aim to promote responsible behaviour, enhance accountability, and reduce risks linked to the growing use of micromobility devices.
