00:02Brisbane mother Sophie Tobin-Webb has just got her learner's licence.
00:06She won't be getting in the driver's seat but needs it to stay on two wheels.
00:11I use it basically every day, get to work, drop kids off at kindy.
00:15To ride an e-bike or e-scooter in Queensland you will now need to be 16 and hold at
00:21least a learner's licence.
00:22I realised I had to get my L's if I wanted to keep riding my bike.
00:25It's widespread change to crack down on behaviour like this.
00:3212 to 17 year olds without a licence can only ride under parental supervision.
00:37Those who can't drive due to a medical condition or disability can apply for an exemption.
00:43But the state's peak medical body has reservations.
00:47We'd like to see more clarity around the guidelines and what's actually being asked of doctors.
00:53There'll be a three month grace period for eligible riders to get an exemption.
00:58GPs, specialists and neurologists have all expressed significant concerns and a reluctance to want to sign off on an exemption
01:07form.
01:08Higher companies will have until early next year to take steps to verify the age and status of riders.
01:14But operators are pushing for people to be allowed to hop on a device without a licence.
01:19The share schemes were caught in a bit of a political football here because we did see completely abhorrent behaviour
01:26from some people riding e-bikes.
01:28And so as we tried to get to a position of a guy who will not be allowed to get
01:31your dad or a bus.
01:33We've seen so many black people under the post, we used to keep the holidays and a lot of times
01:33as well as a student.
01:33We've seen so many black people under the post in the process of a physical impairment in terms of the
01:34año morning.
01:34That's the best way to take up the post.
01:34Let's hope to get you all this program.
01:35We can take responsibility for those of us.
01:35Take care to your dad, I think, so many of us, but we can't do this video.
