Reason I ask on our unclassified NSL 60mph road we have a candidate for this year Darwin award riding an electric scooter at a guess in excess of 15mph.

With the new changes to the highway code yes you will be deemed to be at fault.
It would be up to you to prove you are not.

Crazy, but that's the law.
I'm not sure that part is quite right. AFAIK the charge can only be claimed as a result of bodily injury (including fatal injury) caused by, or arising out of, the use of a motor vehicle on a road’. If the vehicle is parked up then it isn't the cause nor in use when someone runs into it 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
