Electric scooters entered the highway code in 2019 in the motorized personal transport device (EDP) category.
Obviously, the rules of use are still not assimilated by all.
This Sunday, a "pilot" was checked in the Puy-de-Dôme at 90 km / h, says
La Montagne
.
He was driving "on the public highway", on a road limited to 70, at the level of the town of Nohanent, north of Clermont-Ferrand.
The gendarmes of the autonomous territorial brigade of Chamalières flashed the machine – which could be the subject of a confiscation, explains the regional daily – in the middle of the afternoon.
As a reminder, the maximum speed allowed on an electric scooter is 25 km/h!
And often less.
Since November, in Paris, the 15,000 free-access electric scooters have been restricted to 10 km/h in 662 capital areas, even 5 km/h in parks and gardens, against 20 km/h authorized elsewhere.
A decision taken following the 375 accidents, including one fatal, caused by these machines in 2020.

On their Facebook page, the soldiers who had stopped "the fighter plane", explained that the driver had been fined 135 euros and risked a fine of up to 1,500 euros for having unbridled his device.
