The Coroners Court is recommending mandatory safety helmets on e-scooters after its report into an Auckland man's death. Â
The man crashed into a concrete power pole on a modified e-scooter while under the influence of methamphetamine. Â
Radiology registrar Mark Bekhit says a lot of the e-scooter injuries he's seen have been alcohol or drug-related. Â
He told Mike Hosking that he can't be sure people will wear helmets if they've taken substances.Â
Bekhit says it sounds like a simple recommendation that's easier than targeting methamphetamine abuse, but he doesn't know it will solve the problem. Â
