Teenagers hit a woman while riding an electric scooter

Halkida Port Authority officers handcuffed two 17-year-olds who ran over a pedestrian on an electric scooter.

The incident took place last night on Giardini Street in Chalkis (Τζιαρντίνι στη Χαλκίδα), when an unfortunate woman with injuries was taken by an EKAB ambulance to a general hospital for first aid.

Two minors were detained for violating article 314 of the Criminal Code (“Reckless bodily harm”), and the Chalkis Central Port Authority, conducting a preliminary investigation, also arrested the parents/guardians of the driver and passenger of the electric scooter for violating the provisions of article 360 ​​of the Civil Code (“Improper supervision of minors”).

Traffic rules for individual electric vehicles such as scooters, bicycles, self-balancing Segways and similar are provided by the bill of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

The law provides that a driver’s license is not required to drive electric powered personal vehicles with a maximum design speed of up to 25 km/h, but certain restrictions, rules of use and safety are introduced.

A fashionable form of urban transport, which appeared with pomp in Greece, has taken over the streets of the center of Athens and Thessaloniki, creating chaos and confusion on the roads and in pedestrian areas. No one argues with the convenience and new level of communications that have appeared with the introduction of a modern type of microtransport, but at the same time, many other problems have come to light.

In Athens and Thessaloniki, electric scooters are used on sidewalks, scaring pedestrians and causing inconvenience. After all, an object weighing up to 80 kg, moving at a speed of up to 25 kilometers per hour, in a collision with a pedestrian, can lead to serious injuries (which has already been recorded by the police). The situation is no better on the roads, where dashing scooters periodically taxi out, accelerating to 30 km / h and above, maneuvering between cars and motorcycles, creating an already tense situation on the roads. At the same time, none of the scooter users wears a protective helmet.
