Many of those who use electric scooters do not respect traffic rules and expose themselves, most of the time, to the risks of accidents that can have particularly serious consequences. There was also the situation of a young man, aged 31, who was spotted on Autostrada Soarelui while riding a scooter. The incident took place on March 1.
“Exact! You can't ride a scooter on the highway! As forbidden, if we knew the legislation in force, as dangerous. The 31-year-old was sanctioned by our colleagues from the A2 Highway Police Office.“, the Romanian Police sent on Facebook.
The man was not at all aware of the risks to which he was exposed. Luckily for him, the police spotted him after only a few hundred meters on the highway and pulled him over. For his deed, the young man was fined 990 lei.
Although there have been several information campaigns, there are still many people who ride scooters without knowing the provisions of the Highway Code or who simply ignore the rules.
