Regarding eScooters it's really very simple. The law states that they can only be used on private land with the express permission of the land owner.
If CAMC is able to give permission and does so then it could be held equally liable for death or injury or damage caused by the rider of an eScooter.
Possibly if the site is only leased by CAMC then it may not be able to grant permission.

Posted on 17/07/2023 15:53 by wedgyI see that our family friendly club has banned the use of the above " in line with government policy" BUT government policy decrees they are allowed on private land 🤔
I now step back and get ready for the response.

Posted on 17/07/2023 19:06 by davetommoIt does say banned the use of. I would think that includes adults not just children.

That does include everybody dave. We had 2 incidents last year just on my site, one involving children and one adults and that's the only time in my club career when I've shouted at someone (too late). That second one also really tested my first aid skills which thankfully I won't have to repeat (didn't touch the claret for days). Dangerous kit which have no place on any campsite.

Can’t speak for others, but we have public liability insurance when out on our E bikes. And unlike a child, have passed a driving test that demands a degree of road safety, road signage and general awareness of being in traffic, around other people.
I am switching to a brand new to me bike this month, a road E bike, rather than a mountain ebike set up. It’s a totally different experience, different position, different gears, different computer set up. What I am not doing is just going out on public roads without getting some practise and familiarisation in. Safer for me, safer for others.

Posted on 17/07/2023 16:39 by CornersteadyIf this is about e-scooters then yes, fully support it, and I'm not sure what family friendly has to do with it? It's about safety for all.
Again, as with so any things on club sites if one doesn't feel this (or any rule) rule is not for them then find a site where it's allowed.
If anyone does find one please post the details to help?

Posted on 17/07/2023 20:13 by nelliethehookerI have seen them used by sites "wardens/managers" on C&CC site when escorting incoming units to their allocated pitch.

Posted on 17/07/2023 19:18 by davetommoDoes that include e bikes, if so we will have to push them off the site. Is that why they are called push bikes?
