In Turkey, the Covid-19 epidemic has exploded the number of scooter delivery men.
It is often young people without experience who work and very often, in precarious legal conditions, or even illegally.
The consequences are sometimes tragic.
In one year, the number of deaths and injuries among these delivery people has increased significantly, especially in the economic capital, Istanbul.
