8 scooter riders and 19 cyclists fined for dangerous riding

Checks for dangerous riding of scooters and bicycles continue in the region. In recent months, reports have increased of children operating electric scooters in violation of legal requirements, which necessitated coordination between various institutions in Pazardzhik. The Children's Protection Commission of the Municipality, together with representatives of the Road Police sector, the District Directorate, the Social Assistance Directorate, the Child Protection Unit, and the Local Commission for Combating Juvenile and Minder Prodigal Misconduct, began joint checks that are conducted on a schedule and focused on the central urban area.

The police urge parents to exercise stricter control over their children. In the early days of the checks, violations have already been identified and sanctions have been imposed on both electric scooter riders and people riding bicycles. The fines range from 25 to 250 euros, with the largest amounts exceeding 250 euros and targeting parents who have entrusted electric scooters to children under 16 years old.
