A man has appeared in court on a charge of careless use of a vehicle after a woman was struck by a Lime scooter after she stepped off a bus on a central Auckland footpath.
The man appeared in the Auckland District Court today facing one charge of careless useof a vehicle causing injury after the incident on June 25.
He was allegedly riding the e-scooter on the footpath on Fanshawe St and struck Debra Christensen as she stepped off a bus.
The incident was captured on a camera fixed to the bus Christensen had been riding.
The man was granted remand without plea and is set to reappear on October 2. He was also given interim name suppression.
Auckland councillor Christine Fletcher has previously called for "a complete review" of the e-scooters in a bid to introduce tighter safety regulations.
