Segways why is it against the canon here contained by the UK to use them on the roads?

In Georgia, is it against the ruling...

Although it is motorized it lacks the power to acheive speeds that would not impeed traffic flow. It is considered to be a "pedestrian conveyance" so therefore looked upon as "walking". It is ok to use them anywhere you would walk soundly.
Unstable, and a danger to other road users.
Any motorised vehicle must have lights and indicators to be road legitimate.
They were never designed for road use, just for sluggish Americans who need a ride to the nearest burger bar and own forgotten what walking is!
Vehicles going up to 12.5 mph should not be mixed with pedestrians. Fast moving vehicles on the sidewalk would be especially precarious to those with visual impairments.

Unstable, dangerous, and a hinderance to other road users!

Cannot be lit, are not liable for insurance, and subject to no driving question paper, not to mention road tax.
What's a segway?!

They look cool but quite dodgy, no wonder they're prohibited on the roads, probably not even allowed on the footpaths either.
I am not surprised they are illegal to use on UK roads, they are vastly unstable, there is no protection for the user and they are very interested to misuse by people without driving experience or licence. They are akin to motorised rollerskates, motorised skateboards, mini-motorcycle, mini quad bikes adjectives of which are illegal to use anywhere except on private land within the UK

What is ample parking?



Answers:    The UK has regulations covering the use of powered vehicles on public roads and footpaths.

Certain vehicle (e.g. powered wheelchairs and low-powered mobility scooters) are allowed treated as pedestrians (do not require registration, or a licence to operate, can be used on footpaths). Some other vehicles are treated as cycles (e.g bicycles) and are allowed on cycle paths.

All other vehicle must require a driver's licence and vehicle registration, and therefore must meet the legislative requirements for that type of vehicle (motorcycle, quadicycle, motor, commercial vehicle, agricultural vehicle, etc.). These requirements are now mostly set by EC regulations.

The Segway does not meet the legislative requirements for any category of road vehicle, and also does not come across the exemption requirements of powered wheelchairs, etc. Therefore it is not legal to use on UK public roads or footpaths.

Powered vehicle, doesn't come across construction and use regulations. Deficient in lights, brakes, and obviously unstable if any show disapproval. I did see one on the road near Oxford Street surrounded by London a few years ago and it didn't look very safe
