Lazise: A 25-Year-Old Penalized for Reckless Riding on an Electric Scooter. With the implementation of new regulations in the Highway Code, law enforcement has intensified its checks, leading to an increase in traffic fines for those who fail to comply with the rules. Recently, a young resident of Lazise was stopped while riding his electric scooter at over 60 km/h, exceeding the allowed limit of 20 km/h by three times and without wearing a helmet. The officers issued a fine nearing one thousand euros and seized the vehicle, which lacked the “CE” marking.
In another recent incident, local police intercepted a mother attempting to ride with her child on an electric scooter, violating the regulation that prohibits two people from riding on electric vehicles. With the arrival of the pleasant season, an increase in electric scooter traffic on local roads is anticipated, alongside a reinforcement of checks to ensure compliance with the new regulations, including the mandatory use of helmets and identification plates.
