“I think this is an important issue, because there are more and more scooters on the street, they move at a fairly high speed and pose a threat to road safety both on the sidewalk and on the roadway,” Pokhmelkin explained.
He noted that movement on high-speed scooters should be regulated.
“They are often the culprit in road accidents.
They often hide from the scene of an accident, they do not bear any responsibility for this.
In my opinion, people who decide to travel in this vehicle should understand that they are responsible for their actions and that they are full-fledged, full-fledged, and, therefore, fully liable road users, "the interlocutor of RT concluded.
Earlier, the Investigative Committee called on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Transport to speed up work on the regulation of the use of electric scooters.
The UK is also preparing proposals to address gaps in legislation on this issue.
