A male on an e-scooter has been charged after allegedly speeding on the wrong side of Lonsdale Street, Dandenong and nearly hitting a police car due to his brakes not working.
Police say the e-scooter was deemed a motorcycle due to being capable of travelling more than 25 km/h.
Dandenong Highway Patrol officers say the male – with a suspended licence and no helmet – was speeding over the 20 km/h speed limit.
He was said to have refused an oral-fluid drug test.
His scooter was also allegedly unregistered and unroadworthy.
The matter is expected to be heard at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court.
