Pazardzhik sanctions 216 electric scooter riders since the beginning of July

Since the beginning of July this year, a total of 216 riders of individual electric transport devices have been sanctioned. In Pazardzhik and the villages of the municipality, 107 of the violators were registered, Miroslav Stoyanov, spokesman for the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Interior in Pazardzhik, told BTA.

The most frequent violations are riding electric scooters without a helmet and riding during the dark hours of the day under conditions that do not meet safety requirements.

The police call on users of individual electric transport devices to comply with the traffic rules and the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, in order to reduce the risk of road accidents and to ensure the safety of all participants in the movement.

At the beginning of July, law enforcement officers began active checks of drivers, aimed at preventing violations and preserving the life and health of children and other participants in traffic. Yesterday it became clear that a young man is in a serious condition after falling from an electric scooter onto the sidewalk in the city.
