“People who use electric vehicles actually feel like pedestrians traveling at high speed, not in a vehicle.
This is the whole problem.
They do not obey any rules, they do not follow any logic, ”the expert said.
According to him, "very strict rules" are needed, and also, as the specialist emphasized, this "bacchanalia" will stop only when the inspector goes out on the road and begins to fine not only cars, but also those who use such vehicles as, for example , electric scooters, and breaks the rules.
“It is necessary to study the experience of foreign countries, in which the statistics of violations and statistics of deaths of people using electric transport are gigantic.
Israel, France, Italy were the first to shout about it ... We can see what experience they are adopting.
When they say that you need to limit the speed of the scooter, limit the power - this is absolutely correct.
Introduce the rights, if this is a scooter with a capacity of more than 250 watts, it is already in fact the same as a motorcycle, and the same danger poses both for pedestrians and for cars, ”added Heitseer.
He also noted that there is a need to introduce liability for the use of such funds while intoxicated, and subsequently tighten it.
Earlier, as reported by RIA Novosti, the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the first time published statistics of accidents involving electric scooters, mono-wheels and other similar means.
According to the ministry, the number of accidents has almost tripled since the beginning of the year.
