Do you think the hover boards will be banned after a 15 year old collided with a bus in west London last night?

Hasn't the CPS already advised against using them in public places?

Although my point stands for adults that use them and should know better. Some belter was actually using one around Sainsburys the other day

OP, Im sure kids have been killed using bikes, skateboards, or walking and texting, or even just walking and not looking where they are going. But we are not going to ban all of those things, so no, we shouldn't ban "hover boards"

hiding from cock pics.

my son saved up for a really long time but one and within a week it actually broken inside, even though it was one of the more expensive ones. The suppliers are in China and are refusing to do anything about it, and say they can no longer import them. We are only cove_ed by China's trading standards which cannot help us.

My son is left with a hoverboard that he cannot use at all.

Incidentally we only let him use it in what we felt were safe locations away from the pedestrian areas.

How often do wheelchair users hit you from behind? If it's such a problem for that poster, I suspect they're oblivious to their surroundings as opposed to every wheelchair user being obnoxious.

In my opinion they are mobility scooters for the lazy

Not much fun , boring and not one tiny bit dangerous

An idiot doing idiotic things is indeed dangerous

They are Aparantly illegal to use on all UK pavements and roads which I feel is sensible , bikes, skate boards and other non disability forms of transportation that exceed walking pace should not be used on walking spaces

I would however welcome them on cycle paths

I suggest they are for uncool lazy people , that have no other skills , like balance or moving their legs

Skate boards and roller blades are cool however not many have the tenacity or patience to become skillfull enough to use them

Saw a dickhead on one this morning in town on one,he was shouting at people to move as he want to get though.He looked so funny flat on his arse, after telling one guy to get out of his way, an the guy built like brick shite house,stood his ground making the dickhead crash an fall off.Best bit was the local copper taking his details for using the motorise board in a pedestrian area.

There's a lady in my area who puts her head down and ploughs through whoever is in her way. The look of determination when she sees a group of schoolchildren outside the chip shop is classic. I keep my eyes peeled for her now,I think she has stealth mode on her disability scooter

Unfortunately kids need more common sense, remember those trainers with a roller skate in the heel. Think how many kids have been inju_ed falling down the stairs. Roller skates + stairs, can anybody else spot the hazard and risks?

State/hover board + Road, any dangers there?

Common sense is natures survival instinct, far too many kids are lacking these days.

Now, just for the sake of rational thinking. Are these Hoverboards any more dangerous than heelies, skateboards or roller blades?

Because people have been using those for years and years.

So true, there was a news story this week of the Metro extension being opened in Birmingham yet pedestrians would still walk out in front of it, some said they couldn't hear it, some said they couldn't see it, beggars belief......

It seems what is requi_ed for ownership is appropriate training and a rule book on usage

I kite surf , that really is a genuinely dangerous hover board which really does fly . I now teach the sport but I had the correct tuition before I ever ventu_ed into the sea and sadly have witnessed the state of some who have not, just as motorbike riders should , and in my opinion all cyclists should at an early age

No need to ban them it's already illegal on pavements.

As for the open you eyes comment that won't help visually impai_ed people.

Same as bikes, no need to ban them just keep them away from pedestrians.

Parks, roads fine just like any motorised device.

I'm sure if I did 12 mph down a pavement on my bike I'd be a hazard to myself and other pedestrians.

According to the crown prosecution service these things are banned anywhere in public, can only be used on private land or authorized areas. Bit harsh I think but who am I to argue with the powers that be.

It seems to have actually snapped inside the frame. We could get it welded possibly but I'm not sure how to know if that would be safe.

"They should be banned under the trade description act anyway seeing as they don't actually hover, I would be well disappointed if I was expecting a hover board like in back to the future

I got all over excited reading this thread, then I looked them up.... they have wheels

There just segways without handles!

I don't think you can legislate against sensibleness, I think the saying that adults should no better doesn't always play out"
.

That's funny how your brain does tricks on you!

Obviously that should be adults should "know" better

"Best ban bicycles they're always having crashes

So are motorcycles, shall we ban them as well?

We have they're banned unless you have a license, meet legal standard etc

I'd be happy for bicycles to have to the same.

Especially when I know by law they have to be suplied with a bell yet few of the lycra crew seem to have them any more.

they have to have a bell when you buy the bike, no legislation says it has to stay on the bike.

"I don't even know what a hover board is ........... but i think i want one now!

Snap on the first part. I remember those goofy looking segways and it seems to be a similar thing.

No I mean ban them totally,as even with all the training, licenses, and insurance people still are killed riding them. So maybe the best thing to do is make them illegal in public areas.

I mean hoverboards are banned in public.

"It,s safer to walk in the road with skate boards people on bikes those in wheel chairs you can not hear come from behind then now hover boards pavements are not a safe place for pedestrian "

People rarely walk on them theae days anyway.

I say dont ban them. Learn to use them properly.

They have been banned from pedestrian areas!!

Due to risk to public and rider!!!

But people don't care!! They just continue as they don't think about the repercussions of their actions.

Things get banned for a reason!

And people are getting lazier by the day...

Walk use the legs we evolved with...
