Drink Drive Ban For Woman Caught Riding An E-Scooter On The Isle Of Wight

A woman has been banned from driving for two years after being caught drink-riding an E-Scooter on the Isle of Wight.

Kyah Jordan, from New Milton, was stopped in Newport last month (December).

Magistrates said the E-Scooter was classed as a "motor vehicle".

The 20 year old was banned from driving for two years and given a community order.

It's thought she is one of the first people in the country to be charged with the offence of being in control of an E-Scooter while under the influence of alcohol.

Beryl E-Scooters are being trialled on the Island, at locations including Ryde and Newport.
