Frequent e-scooter riders are more likely to engage in risky and illegal riding behaviour, according to research which explored how riding experience influences hazard perception and response. roadsafetygb.org.uk/news/frequent-… 🔗 #RSGB

Great to see #escooter legislation getting attention this week. I spoke with @Forbes about the importance of addressing rider behavior and the need for e-scooter safety training. Read more in the full article here: forbes.com/sites/nicoleko…

We're also extremely pleased & proud to see our amazing @PsychologyNTU colleagues recognised for their incredible work 👏 @VPPetya received the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research @rremediosva received the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship

I’m honoured to receive the Vice Chancellor's Excellence in Research Award. This award reflects years of dedication to improving road safety in the UK and around the world. I’m grateful for the support of my colleagues and NTU. I look forward to continuing this important work.

@FranPilkington @NtuTilt @NottmTrentUni Congratulations, Fran! Well-done!

Celebrating completion of the #PGCert this afternoon at the @NtuTilt conference. Wonderful to share the success with other @NottmTrentUni colleagues and to see my poster on display 🎉

Many congratulations @VPPetya, very well deserved and we're absolutely delighted for you 😊👏

Excited to be part @UfNCollab Cohort2. It was great to welcome our new #PhD Lauren and work on our project on advancing sustainable transportation in Nottingham: towards #inclusive and safer #micromobility for all.

@LindaKKaye It’s a space where people are not disturbed by others while filming. However, filming should not be done while driving. It is extremely dangerous to be distracted with filming a video instead of focusing on the road. Not worth risking your and others’ life for a tik tok video

This is an intriguing notion...why ARE so many rant videos filmed in cars? Is it simply acoustics and/or spaces where people aren't around others...or do people believe this environment has some specific relevance on how impactful their message is? 🤔

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the incredible women in the #transport sector, paving the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future in transportation.

A #Nottingham research team says compulsory training similar to a driving test for e-scooter riders could help hire schemes improve safety and increase public acceptance. 🗒️Full story: nottstv.com/calls-for-meas…

Paris became the first European city to ban the use of rental e-scooters under a law that came into force in September, and concerns have been raised in other towns and cities in the UK and elsewhere about riders breaking the rules; but research by Senior Lecturer Dr Petya Ventsislavova and colleagues at Nottingham Trent University has found that a lack of knowledge of the #Law – rather than a desire to flout it – is behind most rule breaking by riders. @VPPetya @TrentUni policinginsight.com/feature/opinio…

If e-scooter riders are breaking the law, it's mostly because they don't know what it says - @VPPetya @NTUSocSciences explains how e-scooter riding can be made safer through better awareness of the regulations theconversation.com/if-e-scooter-r…
