Man spotted riding e-scooter on Highway 1 in Metro Vancouver

A Metro Vancouver driver captured shocking dashcam video this week showing a man riding an e-scooter in the left lane of Highway 1.

The driver saw the scooter rider on Wednesday cruising just to the right of the HOV lane in Burquitlam. He merges into the middle lane, hesitating as vehicles make room for him by the end of the video.

“Darwin Award recipient spotted on [Highway 1] yesterday,” the driver captioned the video when uploading it to Reddit.

Commenters were quick to jump on the post with opinions on the e-scooter rider.

“E-scooter riders are not beating the allegations!” one said.

“Bud probably just following his Google maps,” another said.

“When she says her parents aren’t home but you don’t have a license yet,” a third joked.

Daily Hive has reached out to Coquitlam RCMP and Burnaby RCMP about the incident, but we haven’t heard back yet.
