Around the UK, there are calls for trials, on our streets, of E-Scooters to improve public mobility during lockdown and to aid social distancing on public transport.
Trials have not gone well in England, with complaints of dangerous and underage use on pavements and even in a shopping centre.
RNIB has been campaigning for tighter guidelines and monitoring of any trials but, so far, the Scottish Government has said no to any trials across the country.
RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Catriona Burness, from RNIB Scotland, to get more on the trials and the charity's reaction to the Scottish decision.
