Scots driver spotted going 50mph on e-scooter swerving in and out of cars on dual carriageway

A man on an e-scooter was spotted speeding down a dual carriage way in and out of traffic at 50mph.

A Scots couple were left stunned when the man overtook them before speeding off in front of other cars.

James Irvine Pryce took a video from the passenger seat of his car on the Kingsway dual carriageway in Dundee on Saturday, March 6.

The footage shows the e-scooter driver swerving in and out between cars and speeding at 50mph.

James told the Record: “It was absolutely crazy.

“My wife was driving and pointed out from behind, I couldn’t believe it.

“I felt apprehensive when he passed. I thought he may not survive that if he has a crash.”

James said he and his wife later provided the video to police who said they would make enquiries into the incident.

He said: “The police were as shocked by the video as we were. They were astounded by it.”

James added: “I have a 12-year-old grandson and I understand why people want these e-scooters. If I was young I would love them.

“But people like him are going to ruin it for everyone because they cannot be going that fast.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said : "We are aware of the matter and looking into it."
